The Greens SA have big plans to grow our movement and increase our parliamentary representation at all levels of government. And because our members are the backbone of the Greens, we can only achieve that with your support.
Our equitable membership fee structure helps secure our financial ability to run big, bold campaigns that achieve meaningful change for people and planet, while also ensuring that Greens membership remains accessible to everyone.
Membership options
The Greens SA have an equitable membership structure that allows you to select the membership option that best suits your circumstances. Here's what it looks like, and how it supports our movement:
- Under 18 years ($5) / First Nations ($0) / Concession ($30)
Accessible membership options for young people, First Nations people and healthcare, student and concession card holders. Your participation as members is crucial to ensuring that our membership reflects the make-up of our society. - Low-income ($60)
Your contribution provides a consistent revenue stream that enables us to pay the rent, keep the lights on and pay our essential office staff. - Standard ($120) / Greenscheme ($15 per month)
Your contribution enables us to subsidise Greens memberships for young people and low-income earners. It also provides additional revenue that enables us to hire permanent campaigning and organising staff, and make bold plans for the future of our party.
How to decide
While it’s entirely up to you, we encourage you to select the membership option that best reflects your circumstances and what you can comfortably take on.
You might opt to pay less on the scale if you:
- Have caring responsibilities
- Have significant debt
- Have a concession or health-care card
- Are receiving income support payments
Please consider paying more if you:
- Own the home you live in
- Have investments, retirement accounts or inherited money
- Travel recreationally
- Have access to family resources in times of need
- Work part-time by choice
- Have a relatively high degree of earning power
- Benefit from structural privilege, like gender, racial or class background
By allowing your circumstances to guide you, your membership becomes a powerful way to help ensure the Greens SA have the resources to build our movement between elections. And when an election is called, you’ll be one of the reasons we can quickly roll out even more effective campaigns.
Thank you so much for your ongoing support – we couldn’t do it without you.
