Membership
Why become a member?
Large and Powerful Voice.
You will become part of a network that supports the voice of 35,000 people across the State each week, and over 2 million across Australia annually that participate in Community Centres.
Deep Reach Into Communities.
Nationally, our network includes over 1,000 Community Centres and Neighbourhood Houses. That’s more than there are McDonalds or Woolworths or KFCs! Our reach into community needs and strengths is deep.
Best Practice Professional Development and Latest Information.
You will receive access to professional development, advice and information at low or no cost depending on your membership type.
Networking.
You will gain access to a vast network of Communities of Practice across SA and Australia, with regular opportunities to connect up with peers, and foster meaningful new partnerships – through closed Facebook groups, annual conference, and regular events.
Access to DGR (deductible gift recipient).
We provide you with access to this vehicle for Neighbourhood Houses/Centres to accept tax deductible donations ($20 or over) or apply for grants from philanthropic foundations/trusts and corporations requiring DGR tax status.
Membership types
Diverse in approach and location, our Community Connector organisations are those who share our ethos and values, but do not represent Community Centres and Neighbourhood Houses. They are part of our collective voice in advocating for strong and healthy communities and addressing inequality, poverty and disadvantage. They value the associated networks, partnerships and advocacy that membership with us can bring them. Membership fees start at $160.
These are those individuals who (like Community Connectors) share our ethos and values but do not represent Community Centres and Neighbourhood Houses. Membership fees start at $50.
Also, this membership is for Peak body organisations with which we have reciprocal rights, and our valued Honorary Members that display exemplary skill and commitment as they work alongside communities and raise the profile of our sector. There are no membership fees for this membership type.
