FAQs

HOW MUCH IS THE NEW JOINING FEE?

The joining fee remains unchanged from our previous annual fees, so you only pay 100dhs as an individual or 150dhs for couples/families.

I'M NOT SURE IF I AM PAID UP?

Simply email our membership officer on aussiesabroadabudhabi@gmail.com and we will check your current status.

DO I NEED THE PLASTIC CARD?

Not at all. Some people prefer the convenience of our credit-card style cards to keep in their wallet but your e-membership card that was issued by email will be fine for proof of membership at our functions or with our sponsors. You may however wish to have a new card issued that no longer includes an expiry date. This can be another e-membership card or collect your plastic card at the next major function.

WHAT ARE THE MAJOR FUNCTIONS?

We hold four flagship events each year: Australia Day, Anzac Day, Family Day, AFL Grand Final Breakfast and in some instances a major special event. There are other smaller events held throughout the year such as coffee mornings, golf evenings and “Night Under The Stars” where arrangements can also be made for membership matters if you let us know in advance.

I HAVE LEFT ABU DHABI AND WISH TO CANCEL MY MEMBERSHIP, WHAT DO I DO?

If you are leaving town for good, then just drop us an email aussiesabroadabudhabi@gmail.com and we will arrange to have you removed from our database. In the event you return to Abu Dhabi in the future, please provide us with details of when you left so we can look you in our records and as long as you were paid up to 2013/14 before leaving, we will happily reinstate you at no cost.
