How To Join Freemasonry
How to join Freemasonry
Freemasonry is a rewarding experience and membership is open to all men aged 18 years or over. Like many membership organisations, there are certain prerequisites that potential members must satisfy when applying to be a Freemason. To become a Freemason a person needs to:
1. Be a Law abiding person;
2. Have a belief in a Supreme Being; and
3. Have made his decision to join Freemasonry by his own free will and not for any personal gain or reasons of idle curiosity.
As Freemasonry offers many unique benefits, these prerequisites ensure that those who join get the most out of becoming a Freemason.
If you satisfy these requirements and are interested in joining Freemasonry, there are two ways in which you can apply to become a Freemason.
Approach a Freemason you know
If you know a Freemason, approach him and inform him of your desire to join. After discussing your intentions, he would probably become your ‘nominator’ and make arrangements for you to become a member of his Lodge (Masonic meeting group).
Contact this Lodge
If you do not know or you don't know you know a Freemason, then please contact this Lodge through the contact us page, and or fill in the application form that you can download from the links below and post them to the secretary of this Lodge at the address on the contact us page.
Expectations of Members
Having joined Freemasonry there are several criteria that are to be respected by members. As Freemasons come from all walks of life, members are expected to interact with each other free from religious or racial prejudice.
Freemasonry is neither a religion, nor is it intended to be a substitute for religion.
Its philosophy is designed to encourage its members toward self improvement.
Members are encouraged to support Masonic Charities which perform valuable services throughout NSW and the ACT.
A Freemason is required to pay annual membership fees to his Lodge which is inclusive of fees for the United Grand Lodge of NSW and the ACT. A joining fee is also charged by most Lodges. The average yearly cost to members varies between Lodges however the fees are explained to potential members before joining.Click on the Link below to download your copy of the application form and individual privacy statements.
