Membership is open to Women’s Specialist DFV Services in Australia which support Wesnet’s Vision and Purpose. 

Full Membership - for Specialist Women’s Service organisations and programs providing frontline support to women and children victim-survivors of DFV, IPV or other forms of gender based violence against women, which are managed by women and operate with a gendered analysis. Full Members can vote and nominate for board positions. 

Associate Membership - for organisations and programs providing frontline support to women and children victim-survivors of DFV, IPV or other forms of gender based violence against women, or allied with the Specialist Women’s Sector. Associate Members cannot vote or nominate for board positions. 

All membership applications are considered by the Wesnet Board which meets bi-monthly.

Fees are based on your organisation's annual revenue. All Prices are GST Inclusive.

* WESNET programs provide direct relief to frontline services for distribution to victim-survivors. Members can sign up for the Uber-partnered Wesnet Rides program for Uber rideshare credit. Members can join the waiting list for the Telstra-partnered Safe Connections program providing free smartphones and credit, as the program is currently at capacity. Wesnet programs are offered to Associate Members on a case-by-case basis, with consideration given to the equitable distribution of program resources, the organisation's programs and service delivery model, the demonstrated need, and the organisation's capacity to deliver the program safely. Individual members are ineligible to access direct relief programs.

** 1 vote per organisation. The Wesnet Board is comprised of full-member representatives from all States and Territories, with up to 3 Board positions offered to women identifying as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander, culturally and linguistically diverse, lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, queer women, or women from other diverse sexual orientation or gender diversity, women with disabilities, older women, younger women, and women from rural and regional Australia. Full and Associate Members can contact their Board representatives and seek assistance on state and national policy matters, funding issues and opportunities, and any other matters affecting your work preventing and responding to domestic and family violence.
