Solidarity Membership
Members may choose to upgrade their membership type, so that they are both a regular member and a Solidarity Member.
The Solidarity fee rate ($2, or $4 or $6 or $10 per week) is in addition to the regular membership fee rates.
For example, if a member (working 35 or more hours per week) upgrades to Solidarity membership for the $2 weekly amount, their fee total on or after 1 April 2024 would be $11.63 per week ($9.63 + $2 Solidarity upgrade).
