Since our formation in 1983, our members have been considered an integral strength of the organisation. Working together, our members ensure that we remain on track to achieve our original mandate, ‘Until the epidemic is over’, and represent the community at all levels of the Victorian response to HIV. In addition, we amended our Constitution in recent years to formally acknowledge that our purpose is also to improve health and wellbeing of our LGBTIQ+ communities. Our work in this space includes:

  • Development of a long term Women's Health Strategy;
  • Relationship and Family Violence support services;
  • Mental health services and Counselling;
  • Alcohol and other Drugs programs;
  • Equinox - our trans and gender diverse general practice;
  • Peer Support and Education programs

You can be a part of this response — to support the advocacy, campaigns, support services, fundraising, volunteering, publicity, research, and clinical work that we do.

As a member, you can:

  • Vote at the Annual General Meeting and influence constitutional change in the organisation
  • Vote to elect our Board of Directors
  • Stand for election as a Board Member, or nominate or endorse candidates for election

As a member, we keep you up to date with the latest news, give you advanced notice of upcoming events, send you a copy of the Annual Report, and you get to feel good about supporting a worthwhile cause.

All members are entitled to inspect records relating to the process and outcome of Board elections. If you would like to inspect the records please contact us at membership@thorneharbour.org or call (03) 9865 6700.
