Member FAQ

How do I join?

You can sign up to POWA at any of our screenings or events. You can also print our membership form at home.

If you print from home, you can make your payment and collect your membership card at your first screening/event.

What’s the entry fee for a POWA screening?

Our regular entry fee, which allows you to watch anime along with us and gain a chance to win our weekly door prize varies depending on your circumstances:

First timers – Free
Guests – $5
Members – $4
Cosplayers* – Free

*Cosplayers are limited to one free entry per costume. Please also note that weapon props are not to be brought in. POWA Screenings and events aim to be as safe as possible, and we would also hate for anything to be damaged at one of our events (POWA accepts no responsibility for any damages).

Can Carer card holders attend POWA without paying for entry?

POWA will honor Carer card holders should they be attending POWA with their dependents, and not charge for their entry.

Is there a discount available for entry fees?

Yes, with the POWA Screening Card! Purchasing a POWA Screening Card will settle your entry for 12 screening visits for the price of 10 ($40 for members $50 for guests)! Save your wallet the struggle of carrying all those coins and carry a Screening Card instead.

How old do I have to be to attend?

POWA requires that you be over the age of 15 to attend our screenings. People under the age of 18 must additionally have a parent or guardian fill out an Underage Consent Form before they can attend a screening.

POWA does not screen inappropriate or R18+ content outside of specially designated events. However, and with all due care, not all material screened is legally classified in Australia.

For more details on the type of content we screen, check out our Screening Guidelines.

What kind of room does POWA screen in?

POWA screens out of a small meeting room in the Joondalup Library. Chairs are provided by the Library, but feel free to bring your own!

Does POWA have a Constitution?

Yes! POWA Anime Club Incorporated is an incorporated entity with a Constitution ratified by the Australian government.
