Ordinary Members – companies or businesses with primary interests within the recreational or light commercial boating industry. These members hold full voting rights.
Affiliate Members – organisations that have an interest in the safety, sustainability and/or development of the recreational and light commercial boating industry and include government agencies, volunteer marine rescue groups, boating clubs and associations, regional development groups and service groups. These members do not have voting rights.
Life Members – individuals that have given outstanding service to the Association and have been awarded the honour of Life Membership. These members hold full voting rights.
Membership Categories:
Ordinary Members are divided into three primary divisions:
- Retail and Service Division

Members may be involved in one or more that one of these Divisions and may register in each division appropriate to their business operations.
The following chart provides an outline of marine business activities under their primary categories.
Membership Fees:
Membership fees contribute only to the basic administration of the Association. The Association relies on other sources of income to ensure that the industry is promoted, developed and represented. This may be via sponsorships, funding and through the success of events and promotions.
Ordinary and Affiliate Members pay a base membership fee to assist with the cost of administration of their membership.
