Membership program

Membership pricing is correct as of 5 October 2022. WA Museum reserves the right to amend the price of Membership products. Members will be informed of any change to pricing at the time of renewal. 

The purchaser of Membership products will become the primary account holder of all Memberships purchased. Any changes of details, cancellations or account queries can only be handled by the primary account holder. 

Changing your WA Museum Membership level within a twelve month period, will adjust the Membership expiry date to the most recent date of purchase.

A junior Membership is classed as any minor under the age of 15 at time of Membership purchase or renewal. Membership pricing will revert to the full Standard rate upon renewal. 

WA Museum Membership is valid from the date of purchase until the expiry date expressed via https://ticketing.museum.wa.gov.au/account/memberships. All Memberships will expire a year from the date of your payment, except Free Memberships, which have no expressed expiry date. 

Membership benefits and discounts are only valid upon the presentation of a valid physical or digital Membership card or another form of official identification (passport, driver’s license or birth certificate). 

Membership cards, benefits and offers are non-transferrable. Only the named account holder is entitled to Membership benefits. 

The Membership account holder is responsible for ensuring the details of their Membership (not limited to email address, contact number and postal address) is up to date. 

Members are required to maintain an active email address in order to access benefits of Membership. Members can opt out of receiving WA Museum correspondence, though WA Museum holds no responsibility for missed Membership benefits and correspondence. 

WA Museum Membership will be considered ‘lapsed’ if not renewed by the expressed expiry date.

All ticket purchases are subject to WA Museum’s Ticketing terms and conditions.
