Who can be Parents Victoria members?
Parent Clubs at Victorian government schools, parents/guardians of children at government schools, or the schools themselves, can join by simply registering as members.
Any individual or organisation can join as a Friend of Parents Victoria.
Registered Full Member
Any school with a formally constituted Parent Club. Our preference is for the Parent Club to join and register a Parents Victoria Contact. If the Parent Club chooses not to register a contact, the school may register a parent and/or staff contact person.
Registered General Member
A school that does not have a formally constituted Parent Club. An individual parent and/or staff member at the school can register as a Parents Victoria Contact.
Friend of Parents Victoria
