Benefits of Membership

Membership of the Royal Society of New South Wales is open to any person interested in the promotion of studies in evidence-based debate on matters of significance to humanity. The Society upholds the principles of liberal democracy and encourages a non-discriminatory discourse and the free exchange of ideas that respect religious, political, and cultural freedoms, seeing these as fundamental to Australian intellectual life.

Society membership brings inclusion in networks of learned researchers and professionals across a wide range of disciplines, provides opportunities to advance the evolution of science and culture in Australia, and is an avenue through which individuals can share in the work of the Society.

The Society particularly welcomes young people to become members.
