Membership enquiries are welcome. Please email ILWS@csu.edu.au. Decisions about membership will be made by the Director, based on Research Master data and advice from the Management Team and Executive Deans, and/or additional material in special cases. Institute membership will be reviewed every two years. To maintain full membership, researchers must continue to meet the minimum research activity criteria and have met expectations of membership.
