Being a member of the Australian Labor Party gives you the opportunity to have a say about the way the Party works. It also allows you to participate more broadly within Australia’s political system.
Local branch membership requires you to join the Party at a local branch meeting. As a branch member, after a qualifying period, you will have a vote in selecting candidates to represent the ALP in state and federal elections and you can participate in local branch meetings, which are usually held once a month. All members can contribute to policy discussions and assist the Labor Party in winning elections.
Local branches are also a good way to meet like minded activists who participate in other community based campaigns where you live.
The Canterbury ALP Branch meets on the first Monday of the month (excluding January and November) at 8.00pm.
Email the secretary to enquire about joining this branch.
