Joining ANSA

How to join ANSA as an Individual or Family.

The easiest way to become a member is to look under  Member Clubs on this website.The list of clubs there are the current financial clubs for the whole of Queensland.
From there you should be able to make contact with the club of your choice.
Most times this will be the nearest club to you but where there are larger centers you may have a choice of more than one so you can investigate which one suits you best.
Make contact and arrange to go along to one of their functions and see if you like the activities and the people. From there it is up to you if you want to join.

By joining you will become a member of the Club, the Australian National Sportfishing Association Queensland Branch Inc., and the Australian National Sportfishing Association Ltd. (ANSA) our national body . Your membership fee will include your affiliation to ANSA plus there is usually a club fee. To see what you get for your fee have a look at the breakdown of the affiliation fees under Fees & Forms.

If the club scene doesn’t suit you but you would like to get involved, particularly in the Tagging area, then individual membership may be more to your liking. To make enquiries about this, go to the AUSTAG link and find Queensland Sportfishers, and follow the prompts there

Please see the Introduction page for a quick overview of the Association and see the Breakdown of ANSA Fees to find out how much Membership Costs and where the money goes.

How to join ANSA as a Club.

To become a member club of ANSA Qld Branch Inc. your club needs to follow the list below .....

1) Become incorporated. To become incorporated you will need to contact the Office of Fair Trading and get a copy of their Model Rules and the Application Form. Fill out the Application Form and return it with their fees for lodgment. I suggest you use their Model Rules as your constitution. This makes lodgment very easy. You then modify your own constitution (if you have one already) to become your By-Laws and/or Rules of your club.

You will be required to have a Public Liability Insurance policy for your incorporation. ANSA Queensland Branch Inc. holds the policy on behalf of all the members and member clubs in Queensland. The details of this policy will be given to you for your use in the lodgment with the Office of Fair Trading.

2) Apply for membership of the Queensland Branch. Every application by a Sportfishing Club for membership of the Queensland Branch shall be lodged with the Secretary and shall be accompanied by:
    (a) A statement giving:
          (I) The name of the Club;
          (ii) The full names and addresses. of the Officers of the Club; and
          (iii) The initial details of members, financial and otherwise, of the Club;
    (b) An agreement to adopt and abide by the Fishing Rules of the Australian National Sportfishing Association; and
    (c) A copy of the Club’s Constitution.

3) The application is then tabled at the next State Executive meeting.In most cases the group or former club wishing to become a member club of the Queensland Branch is in contact with various members of the executive and the whole transition is quite smooth.
