become an official fws member

Become an official part of us, attend our yearly AGM, vote on issues, be the first to receive information regarding fws events and the various sponsorship programs we launch. You will also receive gimme shelter, our monthly e-newsletter outlining fws's progress in Australia, and in Tanzania, East Africa.

does it cost anything?

Not much. It will cost you $20 (that's made up of a $5 joining fee and a $15 annual fee. You only pay the $5 fee once and the annual fee is payable each year if you choose to continue to be a member).

We're working hard to move to a new online membership payment process. Until then, you can easily send us a cheque or direct bank deposit for membership. 

how do I sign up to become a member?

Easy! Fill out an application form and follow the directions on the form. Then email your form to membership@foodwatershelter.org.au.

what are fws's membership rules?

Our rules are more for our operational duties (so the fws board takes them seriously), however if you are keen to read them, they are explained in detail in our Governing Instrument.
