Fremantle Community Radio is an incorporated Association. As such we are a non-profit organisation, but that does not mean that we cannot make a profit, but rather that we cannot distribute it to our members. Any profit is put back into improving the broadcasting equipment and facilities.
Membership is open to individuals and organisations. Members can take part in station activities - including broadcasting.
Meetings are held each quarter and the station publishes a quarterly newsletter. Members can stand and vote for positions on the Board of Management at the annual general meeting.
The Association is bound by a set of Rules which have been approved by the Australian Broadcasting Authority and the Department of Fair Trading.
Under those Rules, an applicant for membership is nominated and seconded by existing members but with a policy of open membership, this is a formality.
Membership runs from 1 July of each year until 30 June. Members have until 31 July in which to renew their membership.
If renewal is not effected by that time, membership lapses and a fresh application for membership is required.
A non-profit group may obtain Group Membership. Concessional Membership is available to students, pensioners, or those receiving Social Security benefits. Those applying for Concessional Membership must quote their student/benefit number. Current membership prices are:
