JOIN THE MOVEMENT
Join our Coalition
Member organisations are the driving force of our movement. Our SRWA coalition members are our strongest allies, full committed to SRWA’s cause and ways of working, and are an integral part of all of the work we do. Member organisations make key decisions, shape and guide our strategic direction, share their expertise with the collective, and contribute financially and in kind. They are part of our regular meetings, subcommittees, and party to all of the inner workings of our campaign and organisation.
You’ll know them by their faces in our pictures, and their logos across our website and work!
Join our Community Advocate Network
Community advocates are people who want to help us push our advocacy, policy, and community work forward, and are willing to pitch in from time to time to help us get there! Community advocates are invited to volunteer, attend our events, take direct actions, and use their skills to support our work.
We keep our Community Advocates Network in the loop through our quarterly newsletter, urgent actions, and our exclusive Close Friends Instagram Story for regular update and chats.
WORKING TOGETHER TO MAKE CHANGE HAPPEN
Our Coalition Members
Social Reinvestment WA coalition members are the core driving our work. They contribute directly through funding, as well as sending representatives to our monthly expert subcommittees to continually guide our work, collectively decide on new campaign and strategic priorities areas, and through many, many other in kind supports.

SRWA have two subcommittees that meet monthly and seek reform to implement a Smart Justice approach, create Safe Communities, and Healthy Families in WA, and thereby ultimately to end the overrepresentation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in custody. These subcommittees operate as working groups and allow the sharing of collective knowledge and expertise across the sector.
The Youth Justice Law Reform Subcommittee was first established by agreement of members at the SRWA coalition meeting in February 2018, and tackled Fine Default Reform. After the success of this campaign, and completion of new campaign strategic planning, its current focus is on Raising the Age of Criminal Responsibility and Youth Justice Reform.
The Supporting Justice Reinvestment Sites Subcommittee also formed in 2018, collaborates to advance the establishment of Justice Reinvestment Sites in WA. This involves ongoing support for communities, including WA’s first JR Site, Olabud Doogethu, in Halls Creek, while developing the evidence base for Justice Reinvestment in WA. The coalition also meets quarterly, bringing together the leaders of each member organisation to review campaign goals and progress.
By working in coalition we build power, can speak independently, bring together widespread expertise, and critically tackle the systemic issues so many of us see but don’t have the resources to overcome alone.
