Why We’re Redrafting the Constitution

As you may be aware, the Incorporated Societies Act 2022 brought in updated requirements for how societies operate, govern themselves and maintain transparency. To align with these changes and ensure our club remains compliant, we’ve undertaken a redrafting of our 2015 constitution.

This updated version preserves our core values and goals, while improving clarity around things like membership, decision-making processes, committee roles and dispute resolution. It also strengthens our governance framework, which is crucial for securing funding, building trust with external partners and ensuring long-term sustainability.

We’ll be presenting the revised constitution for approval at this year’s Annual General Meeting and encourage members to review the attached revised constitution ahead of time. Your support in formalising these updates helps position our club for a strong future under the new legislative framework.
