How to Apply

To apply for membership, an organisation must be:

  • Nominated by a current ANCOLD Member Organisation

  • The application must be submitted in writing using the official membership application form and lodged with the ANCOLD Secretary.

Finding a Proposer and Seconder

A list of all current ANCOLD Member Organisations and their nominated voting representatives can be found in the Members Directory. (Note: This includes Sustaining and Organisational members, but not Designates, which are listed separately.)

Once you identify organisations willing to propose and second your application, you should:

  1. Contact their voting representatives to inform them that you are nominating them as a Proposer or Seconder.

  2. Let them know they will receive a formal document from the ANCOLD Secretariat, which they must sign electronically to confirm their support.

  • The Authorised Officer (for the Applicant, Proposer, and Seconder) – This is the nominated voting representative for each organisation involved in the application process.

Voting Rights for Member Organisations

A Member Organisation has the right to appoint a representative to vote at the ANCOLD Annual General Meeting. This representative must be a qualified professional with experience in dam-related fields such as planning, environmental assessment, design, construction, operation, maintenance, surveillance, and safety assessment of large dams in Australia.
