Become a member

You don’t need to become a member of CORENA to donate to our community renewable energy projects or to help spread the word about us. However, membership fees are our main means of paying for unavoidable admin expenses, like annual financial audits, insurance, web hosting, and so on.

Membership fees are:

  • $25 per year for individuals
  • $40 per year for a family (two adults)
  • $10 per year concession or low-income (self-assessed)
  • $10 per year special rate for CORENA volunteers

Many fund-raising organisations set aside a small percentage of donations to cover their costs, but we’d prefer all money donated to the Big Win and Quick Win projects to be spent on those solar projects. So, you might choose to become a member simply in order to help us cover costs.

Members have a vote at CORENA general meetings and AGMs, which are held in Adelaide. Membership is nation-wide, so not all members will be able to attend in person, but members can email us if they have matters they want discussed at meetings, and can arrange proxy votes. All members will be added to the members’ mailing list, and also receive the e-news we send to everyone on the CORENA mailing list. If you agree with CORENA’s aims and the way we operate (read our constitution), we hope you will become a member.
