FAQ

How do I make sure I am a financial member ?

If you purchase your membership via our website, you'll receive an email confirmation of your membership. Nearing the expiry of your membership, you'll receive a reminder via email from the us. If you need to find out any details of your membership including expiry date, or to change any of your personal details we have on record, please contact us.

How do Friends parking passes work ?

A Parking Pass is available to purchase via our website and is only available to current members. Once purchased, we will send you a Parking Pass which is for one vehicle only and must only be displayed in the vehicle having the registration number displayed on the card. Please read the instructions on the reverse of the card. The Friends produce these Parking Passes on behalf of the ACT Government. All revenue from Parking Passes is transferred directly to the National Arboretum to fund projects.
