Ranges Membership

Ranges Membership

Ranges values the involvement and interest of members of our community in the service.

Our community is our focus and community membership enables us to involve the community in the service and the development of programs. All our Members have the right to vote in the election of Board Directors, so our members participate in decision making through the recruitment and the election of Board members.

We aim to keep members up to date with all our activities through the Ranges Community Health newsletter and the activity schedule and to provide opportunities for members to meet one another, staff and the Board Directors on occasions.

Around the months of May to June each year, we write to all our existing members inviting them to renew their membership for the coming year. Members need to renew their membership before 30 June to stay on the membership register and therefore be eligible to vote at the AGM (usually held in October).

To be eligible for membership of Ranges Community Health you must be over 18 years of age, live, work or be enrolled as a student at an educational institution in the Shire of Yarra Ranges, or be a volunteer or client of the service.

 Ranges Community Health Membership entitles you to:

• Nominate to become a Board Director
• Attend Members Meetings
• Vote in Board Elections
