Your level of involvement in astronomy and participation in the AAQ is up to you. The AAQ is ready to help you with your astronomical endeavours. Through the AAQ you also have the opportunity to share your interest, knowledge and results with like-minded people. As a member you will receive an informative newsletter, and have access to other members with an extensive skill and knowledge in amateur astronomy. At Ordinary General Meetings reports and discussions on astronomical topics are combined with a main presentation on some astronomical subject. The AAQ is based in Brisbane in the South-Eastern corner of the state of Queensland in Australia. However, we have members from across the State and welcome membership from anywhere in Australia or Internationally. Download our brochure which includes a Membership Application Form.

The AAQ has three levels of membership:
- Associate membership is available to any individual who wishes to join the AAQ. This is the normal starting level for new members. Associate members can, upon request, be upgraded to full membership after completing two years at the Associate level. There is no cost to be upgraded.
- Full membership is given to those astronomers engaged in astronomical research or contributing observational data (e.g. variable star or occultation timing measurements) to a bona fide astronomical organisation. Full members must be at least 18 years of age.
- Honorary membership is conferred by the AAQ Council onto members who make an outstanding contribution to the science of astronomy or to the AAQ.
In addition to the membership levels, the AAQ offers concessions to:
- holders of an Aged Pensioner Card
- medical retirees
- full-time students of a bona-fide educational organisation, and to
- two or more family members living under the same roof
