DOCWA has four classes of membership. These are detailed in the Constitution and in summary include:
Full Membership – open to any person owning a Ducati engined vehicle and have paid membership fees. Full members are eligible to become Executive Officers, vote and receive club benefits.
Associate Membership – open to any person not eligible for Full Membership. This means non-Ducati owners (especially owners of other Italian marques). Associate Members receive club benefits but cannot vote or become an Executive Officer.
Honorary Membership – may be granted in return for services supplied to the club. Honorary Members cannot hold office or vote, but do not pay membership fees.
Life Membership – may be granted to a member in return for services rendered to the club (generally over a long period).

Fees
The DOCWA committee reviews fees annually. They run from 1 July to 30 June each year, with renewals required on or before the AGM.
The $70 annual fee (plus a further $5 for new starters) is extremely good value given the range of benefits on offer.
