How to become a member

Organisational members representing migrant and refugee women 

• Demonstrate that the principal purpose and activity of the organisation is to represent a migrant and refugee women’s group(s); and 
• Demonstrate a commitment to representation of women from a migrant and/or refugee background in the organisation membership and/or governance. 

Organisational members working for the advancement and inclusion of migrant and refugee women 

• Demonstrate a significant commitment by the organisation to support the wellbeing of migrant and refugee women and advancing their social, economic and cultural participation. 

Individual members

• Identify** as women* from a migrant or refugee background;
• Be 18 years and over;
• Demonstrate that they share the Harmony Alliance’s aims of promoting the rights, voice and participation of women from migrant and refugee backgrounds in Australia; and 
• Not serve as a primary representative of an Alliance organisational member.

*Including self-identifying women and non-binary people.

** The Harmony Alliance does not seek to place limitations around what such an identity means. As a guide, it is expected that a woman from a migrant or refugee background would see a migration story as a large part of their identity. They do not need to have migrated themselves – this migration story could belong to their parents or their grandparents but should nonetheless form a large part of their identity, including how they see and portray themselves day-to-day.
