JFK Clubhouse

Query from a friend of mine (I didn't know the answer but know that one of you experienced travellers will
)
He is VS AU flying JFK-LHR in PE next week and travelling only with hand luggage, so he will do OLCI and not visit the check in desk. (he's never flown this route before)
He is going to use the JFK CH for the first time, and was wondering does he just need to show this AU card to gain entry or does he need an invite/pass form check in? (We needed one when we flew MBJ-LGW)
Obviously he doesn't want to bypass check in get to the CH then find he needs a pass/invite !
Thanks
