Members and Supporters

Members and supporters have made it possible to have an Association since 1941! By joining the Association, purchasing our magazine and making donations, members of the public provide funding for the Association to carry out work to create an organic nation. Members and supporters also play a vital role in education and advocacy; educating both themselves and others and taking action to support the Association's campaigns.

Thank you for creating a strong, independent, advocacy organisation.
