Join AgForce
AgForce has been extremely supportive lobbying on major issues like natural disaster support, the native vegetation laws, and reef regulations.
If we’re going to fight these issues, we need a strong, collective voice, and we need to get involved. We need to support those who support us, and no one supports people in the bush more than AgForce.

Membership Types
Full member
For all primary producers of cattle, grains, sheep, wool and cane.
Membership services and fees vary depending on your gross value of production (GVP) calculated on a five-year rolling average of combined income from these commodities. Learn how to calculate your GVP here.
Rated from GVP 1 to 6, each level includes an equivalent number of joint members. For example, GVP 6 = 6 free joint members.
- Joint member - for anyone already represented by a full member. Typically, the joint member is a business partner, employee, spouse or family member of the full member.
Full and joint members have equal rights and status as members, including equal voting rights. For example, this means that at a GVP level 6 member, you can have twice as many voting, events and corporate discount opportunities as a GVP 3 member.
Support members
Support members do not derive any income from the commodities we represent.
- Industry Enterprise - a small business (turnover <$5m) with an interest in the industries represented by AgForce
