Proposed Amendments to the IAA Constitution
The IAA Board is proposing a special resolution to amend the IAA Constitution.
Below are answers to some common questions about the proposed amendments.
Why is the IAA Board proposing to amend the IAA Constitution?
As part of best practice governance, an organisational constitution should be reviewed every two to five years. The IAA Constitution was adopted in 2021, and has not been reviewed since then. The IAA Board engaged governance practitioners to conduct a review in FY2026, which recommended minimal amendments, primarily for housekeeping purposes or to better achieve good governance.
Where can I read the proposed amendments?
You can read the proposed amendments here:
What are the changes?
The proposed changes include:
- Clarification in Rule 3.2(b) to ensure eligible persons are nominated by Corporate Members where currently it is any natural person
- Removal of repeated phrases where already established in another rule (Rule 3.4)
- Business to be lawfully transacted in a General Meeting to be limited to matters set out in the Official Notice (Rule 6.6(b)(ii))
- The total 9-year term limit of a Director to include time served as an Elected Director and Appointed Director (Rule 10.3) and transitional arrangements to include present Directors under this amendment
- Removal of transitional provisions under where the applicable transitional period has finished (Rule 24)
- Typographical error in 3.4(g)
This is a summary in plain English of the changes, so we encourage you to review the proposed revised Constitution in full via the links provided above.
What do Members need to do?
Voting Members are being asked to vote on a special resolution to adopt the amended Constitution. Under section 136 of the Corporations Act 2001, this resolution requires the consent of 75% of eligible Members who vote.
Voting Members will be sent a ballot to vote on whether to approve the amended Constitution on 19 October.
