Area Councils & Branches

Area Councils are the link between Branches and the National Movement. Most state and territories have an Area Council which is responsible for the life of ASCM in that state. Their activities include supporting existing branches, starting new branches, and fundraising. A representative is appointed by each Area Council, and they report to the Executive Meetings on the activities in their state.

Currently there are branches in ACT, QLD, VIC, and WA. There are also active Friends in most of the other states and territories. So if you’re interested, but there’s no branch near you, don’t despair.  Contacts for for your local area can be found here, so go find out what’s happening!

E-mail Lists

There are few Opportunities for face-to-face meetings between SCMers in different states, therefore, one of the major means of communication within ASCM is the e-mail lists. We currently have three national lists: one is primarily for students (chat list), another for Friends, and the other for the general committee (policy list).

Everyone is welcome to subscribe to any list.

Conversations on the student and Friends lists range from news of upcoming events, to social justice issues, to personal news from members. The purpose of the policy list is to discuss national business.

The ASCM discourages the posting of e-mail petitions to the lists. E-mail petitions are often out of date, and disregarded by the recipients. Instead, we encourage people to pass on information regarding useful websites, and e-mails that call for people to write letters of protest. For more information, take a look at www.e-petition.org.

If you experience any problems, please contact the webweaver.
