The terms every participating organisation signs

We, the undersigned organisation, affirm our commitment to mutual respect, collaboration, and visibility among African-Australian community groups.

What AFRAUSN is

AFRAUSN is a non-representative directory and network. It does not speak for, bind, or endorse its members. It provides a free participation mark and directory listing so our organisation can be more visible and connected. It facilitates private partnership invitations between members, surfaces consultations from embassies and government, and hosts shared templates and compliance resources.

Who may participate

We confirm that our organisation:

• is Australian-based and primarily serves, involves, or is led by people of African heritage;
• holds an Australian Business Number (ABN), is a registered incorporated association, is a registered charity, or has been publicly active for at least six months with a verifiable public presence.

Permitted use of the participation mark

We may display the AFRAUSN participation mark on our own website, social media, letterheads, and grant applications to indicate that our organisation is a current participating organisation in the network. We will not use the mark for any unlawful, discriminatory, partisan-political, or commercially deceptive purpose.

What AFRAUSN will not do

• AFRAUSN will not speak for, endorse, or bind our organisation on any matter.
• AFRAUSN will not share our information with government or any third party without our explicit per-instance permission.
• AFRAUSN will not charge any fee, now or in the future, for participation.
• AFRAUSN will not interfere with our internal governance, religious practice, theological positions, or organisational decisions.
• AFRAUSN will not endorse political candidates or parties, take public policy positions, or align with any party to any active conflict.

Voluntary participation

We join voluntarily and may leave at any time without penalty or consequence. We may delete our organisation’s account from the platform in one click, with all data fully erased after a 30-day grace period.

Mutual respect

We commit to engaging other participating organisations with respect. We will not use the AFRAUSN platform to harass, defame, discriminate against, or otherwise harm any other participating organisation, its members, or the communities it serves.

Removal

Participation may be suspended or terminated by the Malak Foundation only for breach of this charter, following written notice, an opportunity to respond, and documentation in the audit log. Decisions may be appealed in writing.
