NACCHO has 8 Affiliates. These affiliates (except in ACT and Tasmania) have a number of full and associate members.

Full members have voting rights to elect the Board of their local NACCHO affiliate and to vote for the state or territory representatives on the NACCHO Board. This election process occurs at the Annual General Meeting of each NACCHO Affiliate.

Associate members of Affiliates are not members of NACCHO. They do not meet the criteria for NACCHO membership for a variety of reasons. Many are striving to become full members with support from the Affiliates.
