Description
If you are on the Board/Committee of an incorporated society, or work for one, this webinar is for you. The new Incorporated Societies Act 2022 brings significant changes affecting all incorporated societies - including many clubs, residents' associations and community organisations.
This webinar has been designed to assist 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 reporting
- Managing conflicts of interest and member information; and
- A number of enforcement provisions and penalties provisions.
