Fees and Membership

CCHS has a membership fee system in place described below.

Why Fees?

We’d really love to be able to offer the services we do for free, but certain things (such electricity, water, an internet service and property rental) cost us money. In fact, we seek donations from sponsors and other organisations so we can reduce the amount of Facility fees we have to charge our members. Fees also go toward purchase of tools and other equipment in the space.

Do I need to pay to turn up first?

First and second visit is free, we encourage you to come down and check us out. Tuesday Nights are your best introduction.

Membership & Facilities Fee

To join our community, use our facilities and attend the HackerSpace on a regular basis, a facility fee is payable.

Note: We also offer casual rates, at a flat fee of $10 per visit, payable by cash to one of the duty members present.

Financial Membership

To become a member of the organisation, which allows you to vote in elections and stand for committee, the current membership fee is $50 Per Annum (as laid out in the Rules of Association). Any member who contributes $50 in facilities fees in a calendar year need not pay again and is automatically a Financial Member of our organisation.
