Every agricultural show society needs a constitution that sets out its structure, purpose, and governance rules. Most of our members are incorporated associations using the Fair Trading Model Constitution, while others are ACNC-registered charities.
Key Resources
To support your society, we’ve provided resources to help you understand and update your
constitution:
- Fair Trading – Model Constitution: the standard framework for incorporated associations.
- How to make changes to your Show Society Constitution: step-by-step guidance if your society wishes to update its rules.
- Constitutional requirements for Australian Charities & Not-for-Profits: key information for societies considering ACNC registration.
These resources will help ensure your constitution is up to date, compliant, and aligned with your society’s future goals.
