- conducts activities in the fields of co-operation in international relief and development, development assistance, development education and/or related services in Australia that are consistent with and supportive of the objectives of ACFID.

Consulting affiliate
Organisations (not available to individuals) are eligible to be made a consulting affiliate if the ACFID Executive Committee considers, in its absolute discretion:
- that the organisation would not be eligible or appropriate to be made a member; but
- that the organisation can contribute to achieving the objectives and purposes of ACFID.
Consulting affiliates are not required to become signatories to the Code of Conduct (but may choose to do so).
Consulting affiliates do not have voting rights.
Consulting affiliates have access to the full range of ACFID services.
Annual fees: members and consulting affiliates
ACFID membership fees are payable annually in advance for the 12 month period commencing 1 July. Members and consulting affiliates pay a reduced annual Code of Conduct fee.
The fees payable by a member are related to the total annual funds disbursed to overseas projects, other project costs and community education as set down in the ACFID Code of Conduct Guidance Document. This figure determines which of the nine groups the member falls into, from which the fees can be calculated using the following table.
