Membership of the South West Aboriginal Land and Sea Council is open to all Noongar people 18 years and over and it is free to join.

SWALSC produces regular newsletters which aim to keep members informed about the key developments relating to the Noongar native title claims, such as the negotiations with the WA Government aimed at resolving the Noongar native title claims. The newsletters also contain news about SWALSC's involvement in various projects aimed at strengthening Noongar culture, language, heritage, and community, such as the Swan and Canning Rivers Iconic Trails Project, as well as information about SWALSC's schedule of working party, family and other meetings. The newsletters are posted to members and can be viewed or downloaded by clicking the links below.
