About Us
The CPA and you
If you are not already a reader of The Guardian we invite you to become
one either by taking out a subscription or by arranging for the paper to be delivered
to you by one of our members.
You are also able to help finance The Guardian by making a contribution
to the paper's Press Fund.
You can also help by making financial contributions to the Party's general funds
either at a meeting or by post. We do not receive any big business subsidies or get
an income from paid advertisements. As a working-class party we depend on the support
of our members and supporters to keep our work going.
Party branches often run discussions on various topics. You are welcome to join in
such discussions and express your views. Please contact the local Party organisation
for details.
If you need assistance with any work you are doing in a trade union, peace group,
community organisation or any other body, get in touch with us. We will be pleased to
help.
Joining the CPA
If you decide to join the CPA, you have to fill in a Membership Application
Form. It is a simple, straightforward form and can be obtained from any Party
member you know or by writing to your nearest Party office.
Your application for membership has to be supported by a Party member who signs your
application form as your nominator.
The application is then presented to a Party organisation (usually a Party branch)
for consideration.
Membership is open to all who are 16 years of age or older, who normally reside in
Australia, who accept the Party Program and Constitution,
and are willing to be active in a Party organisation.
Membership fees are $60 per year for those receiving an income above the age pension
rate and $15 per year for those receiving the age pension or less.
Upon acceptance of the membership application by the Party organisation, the
applicant becomes a full member and is entitled to exercise all the rights and duties
which are set out in the Constitution.
