Fun, Friendship and Fitness in Nature
For those who wish to become part of our bushwalking community, Bushwalking Victoria has two kinds of club memberships available. Please contact us if you wish to find out more information and how to apply for membership.
Affiliate Clubs
Our 60 clubs are spread across metropolitan and regional areas and welcome both new and experienced bushwalkers.
Browse our directory to find a club in your area that offers activities that meet your interests - there are clubs of all sizes offering a range of activities. Many clubs offer walks across Victoria, interstate, and sometimes overseas. Most clubs welcome people new to bushwalking and you are certain to find experienced members willing to pass on their knowledge to beginners. You can usually join a club as a visitor on a walk which allows you to get a feel for the different clubs and choose one that suits you best.
Associate Clubs
Associate clubs are organisations who besides their regular activities offer bushwalking, but not as a primary activity.
Associate members are not eligible for BWV insurance and have no voting rights, but members are able to participate in BWV committees and activities such as Search and Rescue, Bushwalking Tracks and Conservation projects.
