Apply to join AFRAUSN
Three paths in. One network. Free and voluntary.
Choose the path that fits your organisation. The first two — Registered Organisation and Community Group — are for African-Australian community organisations. The third is for embassies, government, councils, universities, and foundations wanting to engage the sector.
Already on AFRAUSN?
If your organisation is already participating, you can request a seat instead of creating a duplicate entry. Find your team.

Both paths receive the same access
Whichever path you use, the outcome is the same: a participation mark for your website, a directory listing, access to the partnership channel and consultations hub, and the resource library. AFRAUSN does not tier its members.
