a. Consumer Affairs Victoria has been in touch with all incorporated associations about the provisions of the new act and the timeframes and possible changes resulting from it. Your U3A should have this material now.
b. In addition to materials forwarded by Consumer Affairs, guidance is being provided to us by the Public Interest Law Clearing House (Vic) Inc. which supports not-for-profits in understanding and interpreting legal issues. This group is known as PILCH, and has published on their website a lot of material about the changes needed to our constitutions or rules and, in some cases, to our operations, as a result of the new Act.
