Are you committed to FISH and what we do but you don’t have enough time to be fully involved? Become a FISH member. You might also commit some time as an ally. You might be a parent, family member, practitioner, or community member.

You can register to be a general member of FISH. We will send you information about what’s happening with FISH. Based on your experience and skills, we might call on you sometimes to get your advice or to help out with an activity or project – no pressure if you don’t have time.

We currently have 109 members of FISH. The majority of our members have lived experience in the child protection and out-of-home care system. Many of our members have experience in the system as workers, researchers or in some other way. 

We welcome and need a mix of members with different experiences. We aim to have over 50% of committee members who are parents or family with experience of child removal and children living in out-of-home care. It is great to know that the majority of members have direct knowledge and experience of system challenges faced by parents and family.
