Join OxfamUQ as a Member

OxfamUQ is the most active Oxfam group in Queensland. OxfamUQ is based at the University of Queensland but our events and activities are open to everyone – to simply come to events, or to join the group as a member.

As a member, you can come to any of our events, and we will add you to our e-News list.

If you’d like to get more involved, you can volunteer at any level that suits your time and interests.  Membership is not a commitment to volunteer nor to attend events, it simply says that you support the group’s aims, and would like to hear what’s happening.

If you would like to join the group as a member, please send us an email at oxfamUQ@oxfam.org.au,  with your:

  • Name
  • preferred Email address
  • Phone number
  • Date of Birth (this data is purely for national statistics on member ages)

If you are studying at UQ ( it’s fine if you are not! ), please also send:
o   student number
o   UQConnect email address (@uqconnect.edu.au)
o   whether you are Undergrad or Postgrad, and Domestic or International

Finally, we ask you to agree to support the aims of OxfamUQ (below), and contribute $2 as a membership fee for the year – you can do this at any of our events or info stalls, or you can make an online deposit into our account:
