Join Us

We have multiple different membership options. If you are interested in advancing Free Speech in Australia, please do sign up. For most members, membership will be able to be tax deducted as an income related expense in the same way that other union or professional memberships are.

If you are not sure if you'd like to sign up, you are still very welcome to join our general mailing list. We also have more detailed FAQ's about becoming a member of the Union so you can discover more about it.
