Why does Bi-NSW need members?
To be a recognised entity by the likes of government departments and media organisations etc we need to show that we are representing a real "constituency" who care about the issues that bisexuals face in NSW. Somebody who takes the time to formally sign up as a member of an organisation is demonstrably somebody that cares.

Why does Bi-NSW need money?
Quite simply, to cover the admin cost of running an organisation that is constantly providing information to the community at large as well as putting on events that help define a bisexual community.

• We maintain a phone line which means anybody searching on the word "bisexual" in either the White or Yellow pages will discover us.
• We run a web site with associated domain that means people seraching the internet can find us and communicate with us.
• We are the entity of record for an insurance policy that covers all events put on by all affiliated Bi groups in NSW
• We have a bank account to satisfy the requirement of keeping track of members funds along with the funds used by events such as Biversity and BiFusion.
• We hold a Post Office box - for obvious reasons.
• We print pamphlets for distribution to members of the public and also other organisations (community and professional).
• We hire stalls at several community fair days where we distribute information and talk face to face with people.

What are the benefits of membership?
Let's be frank here - how much "tangible payback" do you really expect to get from a $20 membership?

The intangible, but still very real, benefit is the existence of an organised group that promotes and provides an actual bisexual community. This allows so many people to know that their feelings of attraction for more than one gender is not abnormal.

However we do try to leverage discounts for our members as opportunities (and energies) arise.
Current discounts are:

• $5 discount on Biversity party tickets and guaranteed entry
• discount on entry to any BiFusion events
• 10% discount on purchases of Bi-Pride items from the Bi-NSW shop
• $5 discount on the full price entry fee at the monthly Hellfire Sydney

How to pay?
The subscription fee is $20 per annum with the year running from July 1st to June 30th.
If paying after 1st January the fee is $10 for membership through to June 30th.

What's the fine print?

• You can view our constitution to see that it's pro forma for a NSW incorporated association. ie. no financial risk to you.
• You should note that members' names go onto a membership register that can be viewed upon request by other members. If you do not wish to be on that register just let us know and we will note you as a "voluntary subscriber" and you can essentially remain anonymous.
• We'll send you a receipt and a membership card in the mail. The membership card can be used to obtain any of the discounts available.
