Charter of Participation · Version 1.0

Read the charter, then sign

Please scroll through the full charter below before signing. Your signature is recorded with your name, role, the current date and time, and your IP address.

We, the undersigned organisation, affirm our commitment to mutual respect, collaboration, and visibility among African-Australian community groups.

What AFRAUSN is

AFRAUSN is a non-representative directory and network. It does not speak for, bind, or endorse its members. It provides a free participation mark and directory listing so our organisation can be more visible and connected. It facilitates private partnership invitations, surfaces consultations from embassies and government, and hosts shared templates and compliance resources.

Who may participate

We confirm that our organisation:

  • is Australian-based and primarily serves, involves, or is led by people of African heritage;
  • holds an ABN, is a registered incorporated association, is a registered charity, or has been publicly active for at least six months with a verifiable public presence.

Permitted use of the participation mark

We may display the AFRAUSN participation mark on our website, social media, letterheads, and grant applications. We will not use the mark for any unlawful, discriminatory, partisan-political, or commercially deceptive purpose.

What AFRAUSN will not do

  • AFRAUSN will not speak for, endorse, or bind our organisation.
  • AFRAUSN will not share our information with government or any third party without our explicit per-instance permission.
  • AFRAUSN will not charge any fee, now or in the future.
  • AFRAUSN will not interfere with our internal governance, religious practice, or organisational decisions.
  • AFRAUSN will not endorse political candidates or align with any party to any active conflict.

Voluntary participation

We join voluntarily and may leave at any time. We may delete our organisation’s account in one click, with all data erased after a 30-day grace period.

Mutual respect

We commit to engaging other participating organisations with respect. We will not use AFRAUSN to harass, defame, discriminate against, or otherwise harm any participating organisation, its members, or the communities it serves.

Removal

Participation may be suspended or terminated by the Malak Foundation only for breach of this charter, following written notice, an opportunity to respond, and documentation in the audit log. Decisions may be appealed in writing.
