You can now officially become a Founding Member of the Pirate Party Australia, including the SA branch. There are a few simple steps.

Have a read of our Constitution. It briefly outlines the principles the party is founded on, and how the party operates, as well as the rights and obligations you have as a member of the party.
Step Two
Download the Founding Member Application Form. You should be able to enter your details in any PDF viewer. Print off and then sign and date the form.
You can get the form to us by:
Post:
You can send it through the post.Pirate Party Australia

Fax:
You can fax the document to (02) 8088 1346.Email:
You can scan the signed document, and send it to us at membership.sa@pirateparty.org.au
Step Three
Memberships are currently waived, to take advantage of this simply write 'WAIVED' above the membership fee in the payment section. Donations, if possible, are still welcome - but your time and efforts are just as, if not more, valuable.
As soon as the committees begin to organise swag, those people that will have contributed at least $50, will have some sent their way.
The Party Constitution gives each member a period of 60 days in which to pay their fee.
Methods of payment can be found here.
We'll then confirm your membership, (about 2 weeks) and you'll officially be a member of the Pirate Party Australia, and the SA branch!
