An Equipment Audit form can be downloaded below and should be completed prior to booking an audit with the office.

If you are not able to complete your audit on the scheduled days, you can contact one of the club auditors listed below.  There is a charge of $25 for Cat 7 and $50 for Cat 4 for audits requested outside the organised audit days:
