Orienteering Queensland
You do not need to be a member of the Queensland Orienteering Association to participate at most orienteering events. However, if you intend to become a regular participant, becoming a member has many benefits.
Membership Fees cover membership of Orienteering Queensland (OQ), plus free membership of the club of your choice (see below for contacts for the relevant Club).
We no longer offer reduced membership fees for those who are interested in only the Mountain Bike Orienteering (MTBO) form of the sport.

All Membership fees include levies to Orienteering Australia (OA) and Orienteering Queensland (OQ) to cover costs of administration and public liability insurance policy. The insurance, currently held for $20 million, covers all members, landowners, organisers, and OQ from actions resulting from injury, loss or damage caused by negligence associated with an orienteering activity sanctioned by OQ. It does not provide insurance that covers personal injury while orienteering. Members are encouraged to consider personal accident insurance.
