Our children and families deserve a stronger voice.
Aboriginal children, young people and families are stronger together.
Membership means you're never advocating alone.
Why become a member?
AbSec members play a critical role in advancing our vision to improve outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, young people, families, and communities in NSW. Through our collective efforts, we work towards achieving our Theory of Change with the ultimate goal of seeing Aboriginal children and young people culturally strong, thriving, and fulfilling their potential.
Support and advocacy
Membership with AbSec means you are part of a strong community advocating for the rights and well-being of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families. We work tirelessly to influence policy, provide sector support, and ensure that the voices of our communities are heard at all levels of government.
Access to resources and networking
Members gain access to a wealth of resources, training, and networking opportunities. Whether you are an individual, an ACCO, or a non-government organisation, our resources and events are designed to support your growth and development.
Increased visibility
As we continuously enhance our public profile, our members benefit from increased visibility and the credibility that comes with being associated with AbSec. This, in turn, helps in the recruitment of new members and the development of meaningful partnerships for greater impact.
Sector specific skills training
AbSec members have direct access to sector specific learning and development through the AbSec Learning and Development Centre (LDC). Build skills, strengthen practice and support your team through culturally grounded short courses and accredited training provided by a sector leading Registered Training Organisation — with members receiving 10% off training.
Commitment to our cause
By becoming a member, you show your dedication to our vision as a peak body. Your support helps us define best practices and develop policies that pave the way to a better future for the next generation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people.

Join AbSec Today
Each day, AbSec works to fulfill our mission to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children grow up safe, strong, and connected to family and culture. That mission is carried forward by community — in yarning circles, by families navigating impossible systems, and by the fight for self-determination, so that decisions about our children are made by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, not for them.
Join us today and be part of a movement dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, young people, and families. Membership is open to individuals and organisations. Fees and details are outlined in the application.
