The Importance Of Membership!

SAFA is an organisation formed and managed by its members. It provides the framework that lets us fly in accordance with national laws and regulations, and it satisfies our obligations to the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA).

SAFA provides a range of services whether we are flying a lot, or a little. Without member subscriptions we couldn’t continue to provide the framework and services to our members.

Our sports need all of us to maintain membership to ensure our future.

We thank those that donate their time and effort to the success of our sports; – the Club and Regional committee members, those that organise many events around the nation, those supporting our safety system, and also the many unsung volunteers that contribute to our sports in myriads of ways, either on the hill, at the field, or at home.

Membership Fees

Annual SAFA membership fees are set by the board. Absent board direction, fees are adjusted in accordance with the trailing CPI at 1st September each year. Renew membership prior to this date to benefit from the previous membership year fee level.

Membership fees also contain a Regional Development Levy, nominated by the committee of the region of your residence.

Pilot Certificates and other authorisations expire and are invalid without membership.

Renewal Protects Our Future

If your membership has only recently expired, you can renew your membership by logging into your account with your email address and password.

If you have forgotten your password, just follow the recovery procedure on the log in page.
