Get Involved

Quaker Service Australia is the international aid and development agency of the Quakers in Australia. We encourage Quakers, parents students and teachers at Friends School, and anyone who shares our values and concerns to take an active role in supporting our partners throughout the world.

There are many ways to get involved in the work of Quaker Service Australia. You may wish to come along to one of our events and become better informed about the sorts of issues that our partners face on a day to day basis and the innovative ways that they are addressing these issues. You might wish to visit or volunteer at one of our shops or stalls around the country. You might wish to organise an event of your own and invite a QSA speaker to a local community or Quaker group that you are part of so that even more people are involved.

Alternately you may be interested in becoming a Company Member of QSA.  Members of the Company are able to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting and any Special General Meetings.  Nominations for membership are put before Australian Yearly Meeting in January and July each year.  To nominate please download and fill in the membership form here and send it to Chair@qsa.org.au.  Nominees are advised that they will need to sign a consent form to the effect that they understand their liability as a company member is limited to $1.00, further as QSA is a recipient of government monies through DFAT all nominees applications will be subject to counter terrorism check.

Some of QSA's projects are delivered in partnership with the Australian Government through the Australian NGO Cooperation Program (ANCP).
