Together we are one voice
By becoming a SNAICC member you join the chorus of Australians speaking up for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families. SNAICC is only as strong as our membership; the more members we have, the louder our voice can be!
Why be a member?
As a peak national body, we provide a platform for our members so we can have a stronger voice in influencing laws, policy and processes to improve outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children.
As part of the SNAICC community, you have access to best practice through our policy briefs, resources, communications tools and sector development processes.
We showcase and promote our work to each other and the wider community.
We share a sense of community through events such as National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day and the SNAICC National Conference.
We value expertise from our services and supporters, including knowledge of pressing community needs and community-led strategies that see our children grow up healthy and strong.

To qualify for full Membership your organisation must be an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander entity that works for childhood development, safety or wellbeing. See below for what defines Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community control.
An Associate Membership is for individuals or non-Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander entities working for childhood development, safety or wellbeing. Associates don’t have voting rights.

What is Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community control?
SNAICC supports the right for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families to control their own lives. Self-determination is enshrined in the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. SNAICC’s members are made up of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled organisations that work for childhood development, safety or wellbeing. Our full members have voting rights at our AGM.
An Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-owned and led organisation is owned, driven and empowered by the Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander community that empowers Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to be involved in decision-making.
We encourage non-Indigenous and individual members to join SNAICC as associate members to strengthen our collective voice. All individual members will be an associate member.
