Accessing BWA services

To access BWA’s services you need only to contact our office and speak to one of our staff. Providing you meet the eligible criteria you will be asked to fill out and return a membership form with payment of a ten dollar life membership fee.
Alternatively you may be referred to us by another organisation or person, in which case we will contact you to discuss your needs further.

Please note that accommodation services are open to non members
