Membership

To continue to be a relevant self-help group and an effective lobbying voice, HFV relies on membership support. Government funding is used solely for administration. Member services and programs are funded from subscriptions, donations and fundraising.
 HFV has come a long way in the 50 years since its launch in 1954. A quick recap of a few achievements:
  • The option of home treatment
  • Safer product
  • Prophylactic treatment
  • Free equipment
  • Free product

 We need to constantly monitor that government funding levels remain the same at the very least, and be on alert for emerging issues such as genetic testing. A strong membership base is vital.
 HFV have introduced a tiered membership levels, , which represents good value for the range of services and discounts that members receive.
 $33.00 Standard Family Membership
