Supporter membership is a way for someone who is not a woman or non-binary screen industry professional to support WIFT Australia. For example, this could be a male-identifying person in or outside of the screen industry or a female or non-binary person who is not working in the screen industry. Supporters do not hold voting rights or access to the WIFT Australia Facebook group.
All memberships are valid for 12 months. You will be prompted to renew at this time.

National and state affiliation
Your WIFT Australia membership is nationally based and also connects you to your local Chapter. For example, by becoming a member of WIFT Australia, you automatically become a member of the Chapter in the state where you live. The only exception is for WIFT VIC members, where you’re required to pay a small additional “upgrade” fee to become a WIFT Australia member as well.
