Membership Terms and Conditions
Please read the below information carefully as you need to acknowledge that you’ve read and
accepted it at the time that you sign up for your membership. If you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
How much does it cost to be a member?
Regular membership costs $100 per month.
What does my membership include?
Membership entitles you to attend all drop-in classes, half day courses, day courses, on-site guided retreats, and empowerments that we run throughout the year.
What does my membership NOT include?
Your membership does NOT include attendance to off-site special events (such as public talks with visiting teachers) and off-site retreats, however discounts apply to most of these events. Joint-Centre events are not included as part of your membership.
How do I book for courses and classes as a member?
Drop-in Classes – booking is not required for any of our drop-in classes throughout Brisbane. Simply let the class assistant know your name and that you’re a Centre Member, and fill in the sign-in sheet as usual.
Courses – bookings are required for all courses and special events.
Free Events – if the event is free for members there will be a “Member Registration” section on the webpage of the particular event you’re interested in – please click the button in this section and fill in the form to book your place.
Discounted Events – if the event is discounted please click the regular “Book Now” button and check the box that indicates that you’re a member – checking this box ensures that the correct discount will be applied to your event fee.
How do I sign up for membership?
You can register to become a KMC Brisbane member anytime by using our online form. The sign-up process is easy. You will need to fill out a form and enter your credit/debit card information in order to set up automatic monthly payments.
When does my membership start?
You can use your membership to attend classes and sign up for upcoming events right away, as soon as you register.
Can I use my membership at other Kadampa Centres?
KMC Brisbane is part of a global organisation and we have many Kadampa Centres throughout Australia and worldwide. Each of our Centres are independent registered not-for-profit organisations and/or charities so your membership only covers classes and courses directly affiliated and organised by KMC Brisbane.
Can other people use my membership?
No. Membership benefits apply to one adult member only and are not transferable.
Is there a minimum sign up period?
A minimum membership period of three months applies to all new members.
How do I cancel my membership?
Note that a minimum sign-up period of three months applies to all members. If you wish to cancel your membership any time after the initial three month period, please send an email
to admin@meditateinbrisbane.org with two weeks of notice. Should you wish to re-start a centre membership any time after this, you will be required to sign up again for a minimum period of three months.
Additional Notes for Foundation Program & Teacher Training Program Students
Thank you for your enrolment to attend the Foundation Program (FP) run by KMC Brisbane. When students join FP or TTP they are required to become a member of our Centre and maintain the Centre membership while they are enrolled on the study program. The
student benefits by having access FP or TTP classes as well as all of the usual classes and discounts that members have access to, and the regular monthly payments help to support our Temple and associated branch classes. Every student maintains this membership payment regardless of whether the FP or TTP classes run every week or not.
