​

A few things to note about the election:

​

• The election will be decided by secret ballot, and the result declared by the Chair will be taken to be a resolution of the AGM.

• Each voting member (i.e. Assembly Delegates) may vote for one candidate for each Office Bearer position.

• A proxy cannot be used to vote in the election of Office Bearers, so members who wish to have a say in the election should attend the AGM in person or online.​

​​

4. Who can vote?

​​

The AGM can proceed to business only if at least five members are present, of whom at least two are Office Bearers. Only members of the Association (i.e. Assembly Delegates) are entitled to vote at the AGM. Observers are welcome to attend but are not entitled to vote.

​​

If you intend to vote, please make sure your annual membership fee has been paid to the Association no later than 6.00pm (Brisbane time), Tuesday, 24 November 2026. If your membership is in arrears after this date, you cannot vote at the AGM.

​​

5. Can't make it? Appoint a proxy

​​

If you cannot attend, you may appoint another member of the Association as your proxy to attend and vote on your behalf. You can direct how your proxy votes, or leave the decision to your proxy's discretion.

​​

​

1. Complete and sign the Proxy Form that accompanies the Notice of Meeting.
