How much is the membership?

Every Individual player will be required to pay an Annual Membership fee, via MySideline as you register into a competition commencing 1 July annually. Your $65.00 Annual Membership is a combination of TFA National Membership fee of $30.00 and QTF State Membership of $35.00, including GST and transaction fees.

The National Membership line item will be $0, but you’ll be required to pay the Queensland Membership ($35).

From 1 July 2026, the QTF membership fee will increase from $30 to $35 (incl. GST).

Following the introduction of the QTF membership fee structure in July 2024, QTF has maintained stable pricing while absorbing increasing operational costs.
This increase is necessary to:

  • Address rising costs associated with service delivery, development, programs, and events
  • Manage ongoing increases in office and operational expenses
  • Support future growth and development of the sport
  • Strengthen grassroots participation and ensure sustainability

This adjustment aligns with Touch Football Australia’s national fee reform announced in September 2025, which aims to strengthen grassroots participation and ensure sustainability across all states.

QTF is working in alignment with TFA and other states, including NSW, toward a consistent national approach.

The new fee applies to all registrations from 1 July 2026 onward.

QTF membership fees contribute directly to:

  • Delivery of competitions and events 
  • Player development pathways
  • Support for affiliates and volunteers
  • Investment into participation growth and regional initiatives

Further information on membership benefits can be found here:

The QTF Membership Fee structure introduced in 2024 simplified participation and aligned with a national framework. This is the first price adjustment since its introduction in Queensland.

The increase will provide critical additional revenue to:

  • Offset rising costs
  • Maintain and enhance service delivery
  • Invest in strategic growth priorities across the sport

QTF reviews its membership fee periodically to ensure it remains fair and sustainable. Any future changes will be communicated in advance.
