            • Eligibility

            • If "No" is selected:

              First, apply to become a Social Enterprise Member of Social Enterprise Australia by completing this form. 

              Next, save this unique link and return to it later to complete your verification with People and Planet First. Your membership application fee covers the cost. When you access the link, you'll be prompted to: 

              1. Create a public profile on the Good Market website. Good Market is the independent platform that manages the verification process. This step will take about 30-60 minutes.
                Make sure to check the box for People and Planet First verification on the last page of the form.
              2. Complete the People and Planet First verification form. Go to your account page on Good Market, open the verification form and answer questions for each of the five standards. Keep answers direct and aligned with the standards. You must score a minimum of 1 out of 5 for each question to be verified. This step will take 2 hours to complete.
                You will need access to financial, business and governance information about your organisation.

              Your application will then be assessed. Local verifiers (state and territory social enterprise peak bodies in Australia) will review your application and support you through the process.

              Let us know who the best contact is for your organisation.

            • Location

            • Reciprocal membership

              Reciprocal membership allows social enterprises to apply to join Social Enterprise Australia and the state or territory social enterprise peak body where they are based, at the same time and at no extra cost. This is determined by the organisation’s registered address.

              Following application approval by Social Enterprise Australia and the primary state or territory social enterprise peak body, you’ll also have the option to join others at half price (each), without having to fill out another form.

              There are three states taking part at this stage: Queensland, Victoria, and Tasmania.

            • Operations

            • *If you're unsure which industry sector best fits your organisation, you can refer to the Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC) list for a more detailed breakdown.
