Membership conditions

Membership is reviewed by the I-STEP Board to ensure new organisations share the network's values, collaborative approach and commitment to inclusive practice. Approval is based on alignment with the network rather than organisational size or geographical location.

There are no membership fees or financial obligations. Membership continues until an organisation withdraws or no longer meets the network's membership conditions.

Member organisations are expected to provide accurate information, respect the values and reputation of the network, and update their organisational profile when relevant changes occur.

The principal contact of an approved organisation will be included in the I-STEP Members communications system. These communications are limited to information relevant to membership and participation in the network, including network news, opportunities, events, projects, resources, consultations and governance matters.

Recipients may stop receiving non-essential member bulletins without affecting the organisation's membership. Essential administrative, legal and governance communications relating to membership may continue to be sent separately.

I-STEP Network reserves the right to modify, suspend, reactivate or terminate the membership status of an organisation. Decisions concerning admission and membership status are made by the Board in accordance with the interests, values and proper functioning of the network.

Withdrawal or termination of membership removes the organisation from the public member directory and map and from the active I-STEP Members communication list. I-STEP Network may retain an appropriate administrative record where necessary for governance, accountability or legal purposes.
