Here’s how you can join and start trading with BrisLETS:

Step 1 – Joining Fee

BrisLETS is an incorporated association run by volunteers. We charge a once-off joining fee of $20 to cover the costs of incorporation and publicity.

⚠️ Important: BrisLETS is not covered by public liability or personal accident insurance. By joining, members agree to participate in all trades, activities, and events at their own risk, and are responsible for their own safety and belongings.

  • 💳 Electronic Transfer: $20 to BrisLETS at Bank Australia (preferred)
    • BSB: 313-140
    • Account Number: 12138801
    • Please include your name in the transaction details so we can match your payment to your application.
  • 💵 Cash: $20, payable in person at our monthly Trading Days.

When you join, you’ll receive:
✅ Access to the online CES database to advertise your offers and wants
✅ 12 newsletters & event update emails each year
✅ Connection to a supportive, sustainable trading community

Step 2 – Register Your Membership

You can join in two ways:

  1. Online (recommended)
    👉 https://www.community-exchange.org/home/join/
    • Have at least one OFFER ready to advertise (could be an extra pair of hands).
    • After completing the form and submitting your payment, an email will go to our Membership Secretary.
    • Once your application is approved, you’ll receive a Welcome Email with your BLCE#### account number and password.
    • You can then log in, browse offers and wants, and start trading right away!
  2. At a Trading Day
    • Collect and complete an application form or ask for help to join online.
    • Ask for a receipt for your $20 cash payment.
    • Please note: this process may take longer as our volunteers need time to process applications.
