In return for membership, Netsafe may request your input and support from time to time, to further advance our collective mission to create a safer online world. If there is specific expertise or pro-bono support or other contributions you’d like to offer, please let us know.
You can apply to be a Netsafe member using our online application form. All applications are reviewed for approval at the next Netsafe Board meeting, which are usually held every two months.
