Since our formation in 1983, our members have been considered an integral strength of the organisation. Working together, our members ensure that we remain on track to achieve our original mandate, ‘Until the epidemic is over’, and represent the community at all levels of the Victorian response to HIV. You can be a part of this response — to support the advocacy, campaigns, support services, fundraising, volunteering, publicity, research, and clinical work that we do.

As a member, you can:

  • Vote at the Annual General Meeting and influence constitutional change in the organisation
  • Vote to elect our Board of Directors
  • Stand for election as a Board Member, or nominate or endorse candidates for election

As a member, we keep you up to date with the latest news, give you advanced notice of upcoming events, send you a copy of the Annual Report, and you get to feel good about supporting a worthwhile cause.

All members are entitled to inspect records relating to the process and outcome of Board elections. If you would like to inspect the records please contact us at membership@vac.org.au or call (03) 9865 6700.

We offer three membership levels to all members of the public.

  • Ordinary membership ($33/year) — Available to anybody who wishes to be a member 
  • Concession membership ($16.50/year) — Available to anybody who wishes to be a member and holds a valid concession card
  • Free membership — Available to anybody who wishes to be a member and is living with HIV

Please note that you do not need to provide evidence of concession nor evidence of HIV status to be eligible for the membership types as we trust that you will choose the one that best fits your current situation.
