Earthworker is itself a cooperative – one that was started and that continues to be led by dedicated volunteers. We have been generously supported by a wide range of individuals, trade unions, faith groups, environmental groups and our industry partners.

Please join us to help build a thriving cooperative economy across Australia.
Become a member of the Earthworker Cooperative and be actively involved in the just-transition to a cleaner and fairer economy.

Contributing on a monthly basis gives us a stable and regular income so we can plan ahead and spend less time fundraising! This provides vital financial security for our ongoing work. If tax deductibility is important to you, our Monthly Memberships is tax deductible through our affiliation with Friends of the Earth. As we like to say, we run on the idea of the smell of an oily rag, so every contribution counts and is greatly appreciated.

All membership options include 1 share in the cooperative (valued at $42) plus transaction fees, with the remainder being a donation to the project. To maintain your membership after the first year you will be asked to pay a yearly subscription fee of $25 (unwaged) or $70 (waged).

Before signing up as a member please read the Active Membership Requirements.
