The Australian Recreation Union aims to connect members and get them out enjoying the great outdoors while building a strong sense of community.
We have two membership categories - General Member and Firearms License Member. Membership runs for a full 12 months from the date you join and comes with a range of great benefits.
ARU Membership is more than a compliance step for firearm licence holders. It affirms that your chosen recreation - whether fishing, camping, 4WDing, archery, hiking, or shooting sports - is represented and defended at a national level. By joining, you give the ARU the mandate to advocate for your interests, ensuring that outdoor recreation in all its forms remains accessible, respected, and protected for every Australian.
Our goal is to educate members while also fostering social connections that can lead to lifelong friendships.
But we’re more than just genuine purpose requirements - we’re building a community.
With training, social events, discounts, and educational courses, plus new partnerships with leading outdoor brands, the value of your membership will only keep growing!
