About APANA

APANA is the Australian Public Access Network Association, Incorporated, a not-for-profit on-line computer networking organisation incorporated in the State of Victoria as A0026600C and ARBN 081 355 722. APANA is a national association, operating as several separate Regions located all over Australia.

A National Management Committee, elected by all members annually, coordinates the association's overall activities. Each Region has a Regional Committee, elected annually by the region's members, which coordinates the Region's operations. Regions are fairly autonomous and diverse, with different regions operating differently, with different services and fees.

APANA membership is open to individuals and non-profit, non-government organisations. Access to the APANA network is available to members and their guests for personal, non-profit and non-commercial purposes. A member joins a particular Region, paying that Region's fees and receiving that Region's benefits. There are also provisions for forming new Regions.
