Women in Print Introduces New Associate Memberships from January 2026

 

Women in Print Australia is pleased to announce the introduction of Associate Memberships, formally approved by the Board and commencing 1 January 2026. 

This new membership category expands the organisation’s welcome to individuals across the broader graphics communications and related industries — including men and supporters outside the print sector — who align with and champion the association’s purpose, values and vision.

Associate Memberships provide a pathway for anyone who wishes to support the Women in Print community actively, even if they do not meet the criteria for full membership. 

Associate Members will enjoy the full suite of membership benefits, except for voting at the Annual General Meeting or standing for Board election. Membership pricing will remain aligned, with Associate Memberships offered at the same annual fee as Full Memberships — $89 plus GST per individual. This price will stay in place throughout 2026.

Membership Benefits

All Full and Associate Members are entitled to a comprehensive set of benefits, including:

Discounted and early-access tickets to all Women in Print events and webinars,

plus free tickets to selected webinars

Up to $600 discounted pricing for the two-day Executive Leadership Program with Jo

Wise Leadership, exclusive to Women in Print Australia

  1. Discounted pricing for ongoing individual Leadership Coaching with Jo Wise
  2. Free access to Jo Wise’s paced-learning webinars and leadership video content

through the Member Portal

Women in Print Board Chair Stephanie Gaddin said, “Introducing Associate Memberships is a practical and thoughtful step for Women in Print. It allows us to welcome supporters who stand with us, who want to participate in our programs and events, and who contribute to the strength of our community — without altering the governance structures designed specifically for women and non-binary professionals in our industry.

“Our goal has always been to build a connected, empowered and inclusive community. Associate Memberships give us a way to acknowledge and include the male allies who champion our work while keeping our focus clear and our purpose intact. It’s an important evolution for the organisation as we continue to grow.”

The new Associate Membership will be available from 1 January 2026, with registrations opening on the Women in Print website.
