Our members give Emerge Australia the impetus, encouragement and drive to continue our work. By joining and supporting us, you will be helping to advance our cause to improve the lives of everyone with ME/CFS and their families. You'll also benefit by receiving our flagship quarterly journal Emerge delivered straight to your doormat or inbox as soon as it's published, and you'll be the first to know about member-only events and opportunities. Membership costs as little as $5. 

Who is membership for?

We encourage anyone living with ME/CFS, their carers, family and friends, and any other supporters to become members. As our membership grows, our voice and ability to speak on your behalf grows louder. 

How much does a membership cost?

Emerge Australia has two tiers of membership:

• $50 (incl GST) annual membership

Each tier gives the same benefits. Financial hardship is self-defined and does not require documentation.

You will receive: 

• the Emerge Australia magazine 'Emerge'

• an invisible disability lanyard
