There are two types of membership for the Bwgcolman Future Inc.

• Ordinary Membership
• Associate Membership

For details of current membership fees, please refer to the relevant application form.

Ordinary Membership

Is limited to:

Manburra or Bwgcolman people, direct members of their families or other Palm Island resident having resided on Palm Island for a minimum of 12months immediately prior to application for membership, and their families.

This limit is designed to ensure the organisation remains a community based and focussed group and to maintain an indigenous identity without being exclusively indigenous.

Ordinary Members have the right to vote, run for a position on the Board of Directors and are encouraged to volunteer and be personally involved in the organisation.

Associate Membership

Is unlimited, and available to anyone - individuals, families, community groups and corporations. The membership does not include a right to vote and is more seen as recognition of support for the BFF and the work we are undertaking.

In addition to this Associate Members receive a quarterly newsletter and discounts on merchandise such as the Annual calendar – which for 2006 is titled “Kids of Palm Island”, and features 12 pages of picturesque landscapes and beautiful Palm Island Children!
