There are numerous benefits to becoming a WESNET member including participation in key national policy debates and consultative processes; access to WESNET publications, research and national conferences; and access to WESNET's discussion and networking forums.

WESNET encourages all individuals and services with an interest in domestic and family violence and its effects on women and children to join our growing network by becoming a WESNET member.

All members and associate members must subscribe to WESNET's Vision, Purpose and Objectives.

WESNET has three types of membership:

1. Organisational full membership is open to a women’s service that is a non-government organisation which provides DV/FV specific services to women and children and where those services are delivered and managed by women.
2. Individual full membership is open to individual women who are not employees of State, Territory or Commonwealth governments.
3. Associate membership is available to any other organisation or individual.

Full membership, and full forum access, is only available to the first two of these membership types. Partial access to the forums is also available to Associate Members. Granting of full membership is subject to the WESNET Committee approval.  Supporting material is requested for new applications, and may be requested for renewals.

Please note, Government employees may apply for Associate Membership only.

Membership renewals for 2010-11 have been posted. All existing WESNET members were sent a renewal notice by post.
