Who can join?

To qualify for membership of Faith Workers Alliance, you must be engaged in faith work. This means that you are engaged by a faith organisation (or another organisation without existing union coverage) to undertake duties that share and strengthen faith. You must have a formal role or title in the organisation, and be perceived as acting for and on behalf of the organisation. 

If you are engaged by another entity, such as a hospital, health service, school, defence force, charity or business, you may already be eligible to join another union. We encourage you to consider existing union representation in your workplace before seeking membership of Faith Workers Alliance.

You do not need to receive payment to become a member. Membership is also open to students, retirees, voluntary workers and interns.
