BYE-LAWS AT A GLANCE
Registered bye-laws: the rules your society must follow
Model bye-laws: the template they are built on (PDF below is the 2014 edition)
Act and Rules: the law above both, updated by the 2026 Rules
IS YOUR SOCIETY FOLLOWING ITS BYE-LAWS?
AGM deadlines missed
The AGM is due on or before 30 September (bye-law 93). Late meetings put the committee at risk of action.
Applications left undecided
Membership and transfer applications unanswered for three months can lead to deemed admission (bye-laws 38(c), 62).
Outdated charges and interest
The 2014 model allows 21% interest. The 2026 Rules cap it at simple 12%.
Records that fail an audit
Nomination registers, minutes, audit and fire reports are often incomplete or out of date.
How Tick Boxes Helps
Compliance Management
Registers, filings and statutory requirements, handled on time. We track the deadlines your bye-laws and the Act set, such as the AGM, which bye-law 93 requires on or before 30 September.
Audit & Taxation
Audit-ready records, tax filings and AGM support. We help prepare the records an auditor needs and the documents your general body considers.
Administration & Record Management
Nominations, meetings, records and visitor management. We keep your nomination register, notices and minutes in order, which is where many bye-law breaches begin.
Accounting & Maintenance
Billing, bookkeeping and bank reconciliation. Charges are billed and tracked against what your bye-laws and the 2026 Rules allow.
Helpdesk & Complaint Resolution
Every complaint logged, tracked and resolved on time. Member applications and complaints go to the committee with a clear record.
How It Works
- Review. We compare your registered bye-laws with current practice.
- Plan. We build a calendar for meetings, audits and filings.
- Run. Our society managers handle records, notices, billing and follow-ups.
- Report. Your committee gets clear updates and decides with full information.
