Why become a member?

Becoming a member is a way in which you can show your support for the important work of Ballarat Community Health.  It is through strong membership and engagement of members that Ballarat Community Health can better understand and cater for the needs of the community.

Membership is free and applicants must be over 18 years of age for full membership. Associate/junior membership is open to those applicants under 18. All membership is open to those who either live, work or are enrolled as a student in the area served by the Centre or are a client or a carer of a client of the Centre.

As a continuing member of the organisation:

• You will receive the quarterly Members’ Newsletter
• You will be kept informed of activities through the Annual General Meeting and Annual Report.
• We would welcome your involvement in our service evaluation and program development if you would like to participate in these processes from time to time.
• You will be notified of new services, events and functions that may be held for BCH throughout the year.
• Full members will be able to participate in the election process developed by Government and run by the Victorian Electoral Commission.
• You may wish to offer your services or expertise to the Board of Directors or work as a volunteer in one of our many support groups or programs.
• Any donations made to the Centre are fully tax-deductible and assist us to expand our work with youth and people at risk.
