As the mental health sector has been moving away from its traditional roles, it has been refreshing and advantageous to be part of a peak service which keeps its focus on the sector and its members. WACOSS has filled this role well.

WACOSS plays an essential role in the community services sector, bringing together providers; advocating to government; and keeping services up to date with key issues in the sector.

Membership Rates

Annual turnover for organisations may include regular income from all sources, including grants and subsidies, but excluding capital grants.

In recognition of the additional challenges that aren’t experienced by our metro service providers – such as the additional cost to provide services and distances involved – our regional members are offered a 25% discount on membership fees.

People with Lived Experience and Advocates working on WACOSS projects are eligible to have their fees waived.

Membership fees are based on the financial year, with renewals between June and July. If you become a member outside of these months, you will be charged a pro-rata membership fee.

For more information or to apply to have your fees waived, email [email protected].
