About the Event
In support of the Society’s ongoing commitment to responsible and effective governance, the Society Board is excited to announce the proposal to transition the corporate structure of the Society from an incorporated association to a company limited by guarantee.
PROPOSAL
The Board has resolved to put forward a proposal for the Society to transition from its current corporate structure as an incorporated association under the Associations Incorporation Act 1991 (ACT) to a company limited by guarantee (CLG) under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). This transition will enable greater alignment of our corporate and governance structure with the growing scale and national scope of the Society’s work.
Transitioning to a CLG will also require a change to our constitution to align with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
NEXT STEPS
The second Town Hall (overview of the draft constitution) is being held on Thursday 18 September 2025, 7:00pm to 8:00pm AEST via zoom.
The proposed transition and changes to the constitution will require member approval by special resolution, which will be sought at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) on 25 November 2025 held online via Zoom. A high-level timeline of the transition is set out below.
