The seminars are designed to assist our local volunteer clubs and societies with the significant changes and to be prepared as the new requirements come into force. All incorporated societies must re-register under the 2022 Act between October 2023 and April 2026. Societies will need to make changes to their Constitutions before re-registering.  The Act also modernises the way societies are registered and regulated; with the major changes relating to:

• Membership:  A new minimum number of members and rules about how someone becomes a member;

• Governance:  Committee member duties are clarified and codified;

• Constitution:  New requirements for a society’s Constitution (previously known as its rules)

• Dispute resolutions;

• Financial reports

• Managing conflicts of interest and member information; and

• A number of enforcement provisions and penalties provisions.
