Get Involved
As a peer-led and peer-run organisation, Positive Life welcomes the involvement of all people living with HIV, including people affected by HIV. There are a number of ways you can be part of Positive Life and get involved in the community in NSW.
Financial support
You can support Positive Life financially, either by making a donation (one-off or reoccuring), or leave a bequest in your Will.
Membership
One of the main ways to support Positive Life is to become a member. Anyone living with HIV in NSW can become a Full member of Positive Life NSW, while people who do not live with HIV themselves and who still wish to support the organisation are able to become an Associate member.
Participate in Research
Positive Life partners with a number of tertiary and clinical institutions in the interests of informing and guiding the development of services and resources to meet the needs of people living with HIV in NSW. (Inclusion on this website.)
