Join the AFP Veterans Association

All membership applications are subject to review by the Committee. If you are joining our “closed” Facebook group, please only use the email address you use to log into Facebook. Relevant details will be verified. Or fill out the form below and we’ll also send you info on how to join the AFPVA. The Committee shall have ultimate discretion over whether an application for membership is accepted. Download the form, fill it in and then send to us at admin@afpva.org.au or post it.

In the years to come, people will ask, “what is your membership number?” If you are having trouble finding a proposer or seconder for the application form, don’t stress. We will consider an application without a proposer or seconder, if you can:

  • attach your certificate of AFP service to the membership application, or
  • submit the form with a few names of old boys (or girls) you worked with and where, then pay your fees.

We just need to have someone vouch for you if you don’t have a proposer or seconder. Contact admin@afpva.org.au for more info.

Approval Process

Once payment and the application form is received, our Secretary will email you with a membership number. We approve all memberships at our monthly Committee meeting, so depending on when you applied to join it may take time. Please be patient as we are all volunteers.
