2024 Annual General Meeting

The Board of Directors invite its Financial Full (Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander) and Associate (non-Indigenous) Members to join them at the 2024 Annual General Meeting. This is an opportunity to hear about the achievements of NCACCH over the previous 12 months.

In addition, Amendments to the Rule Book (Constitution) will be tabled for Member consideration, and if thought, to pass the following special resolution: “That, in accordance with section 69-5 of the Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act 2006 and rule 20.1 of the current constitution of the NCACCH, the document submitted to the meeting, and signed by the chair of the meeting (for the purposes of identification) is adopted as the constitution of the NCACCH, in substitution for the current constitution of the NCACCH (which is repealed).”
