Compost Australia
is legally constituted as a National Division of the Waste Management
Association of Australia (WMAA). Compost Australia members therefore
must also be members of the WMAA, and are subject to the associated
WMAA rules and code of conduct.
Full membership:
To be eligible for full membership of Compost Australia, your organisation
must currently operate a commercial organics processing facility
that complies with all relevant state and local regulatory and licensing
requirements.
Associate membership:
Industry stakeholders who are not licensed organics processors,
such as consultants, government agencies, educational institutions,
local government and allied industries etc. are welcome to join
Compost Australia as associate members. Associate members enjoy
all functional benefits of full membership, but are not eligible
for membership of the Compost Australia committee, and do not have
voting rights within Compost Australia.
