Club Constitutions
All surf lifesaving clubs need to re-register with the Incorporated Societies Registrar by April 2026 with a constitution compliant with the Incorporated Societies Act 2022 and Regulations (2023). The new Act modernises the way societies (clubs) operate and contains some major changes to what must now be included in a club’s Constitution.

Conflicts of Interest
Conflicts of interest are a common cause of disputes and governance issues for clubs. Identifying and managing conflicts of interest can prevent larger issues from arising and ensure that decisions are fair and impartial and made in the best interest of the club.
