The selection criteria for joining Fin WA Inc. is for you to be committed to its vision, mission and values; and support the ‘objects of the association’. The ‘objects’ of Fin WA can be found in rule 3 (1) and (2) under the Rules of Association [also referred to as the Constitution] located on this website. In short, the ‘objects’ of Fin WA Inc. include a commitment to ensuring property and income will be applied solely towards the promotion of the association and services will be directed at assisting families who are in crisis following the removal of their children by the Sate.

Child protection workers and other DCP staff who support the aims of Fin WA Inc. are welcome to join, but will need to be aware that some of the parent members may initially treat them with suspicion. This is a natural consequence of the parents’ own experiences with the ‘system’. However, dialogue between child protection workers and biological parents in a neutral environment can be therapeutic for all concerned.
