  • you must be at least 17 years old, If you are 17, you will be registered as an Associate Member until your 18th birthday when your membership will be upgraded to Full Member;
  • an Australian resident, preferably enrolled to vote because, if you are not enrolled, we cannot use your membership to register the Party, and
  • preferably, you will not be a member of another political Party. If you are, we will not be able to use your membership for registration purposes so you will be granted Associate Membership. Associate members have the same rights as Full Members.
