ACTCOSS members come from the community services sector, advocacy and self help groups, as well as committed individuals.

Over 100 ACT community organisations are members of ACTCOSS. Member organisations range from refuges offering accommodating services to small advice bureaus and self help groups. Visit the list of ACTCOSS member organisations. There are also a number of Associate members, who are individuals interested in and committed to the goals and activities of ACTCOSS.
