Get Involved with AYAC

If you'd like to be more involved, you can become an AYAC member. As a member-driven organisation, the breadth and diversity of the AYAC membership is our strongest asset, and a tangible demonstration of the support and need for a strong, independent national youth peak.

Being a member also gives you the ability to vote at our AGM and nominate for a position on our National Representative Council and Executive. AYAC membership falls into two categories: National Members and General Members. National Members are state and territory youth peaks or national youth organisations (which are youth organisations operating in at least five states or territories). General Members include other youth organisations, networks, or individuals (including young people). Both memberships cost $10.00 (including GST) per year

Become an AYAC Supporter

In recognition of AYAC's current funding and activity limitations, you're alternatively able to sign up to be a supporter of AYAC. While this doesn't give you the ability to vote at our AGM or nominate for a position on our National Representative Council or Executive, becoming an AYAC supporter is a free and effective way to demonstrate your support for AYAC's development into an active and independent national youth peak that provides ongoing policy research, analysis and advocacy on issues affecting young Australians.

To become an AYAC supporter, complete the form below and click 'Sumit' once only. You will be added to our supporter database.
