The Council is the governing body of the Society, consisting of up to nine elected members who meet the eligibility requirements outlined in the Constitution. Council members serve a three-year term, commencing after the Annual General Meeting at which their election is announced.
The Council is responsible for managing and directing the activities of the Society to achieve its objectives. This includes ensuring responsible financial management, setting strategic direction, and upholding the highest standards of governance.
The Council is led by two officeholders:
- President – Chair of the Council
- Vice President – Deputy Chair of the Council
Council members are committed to acting in good faith, exercising care and diligence, and prioritising the best interests of the Society. They must manage financial affairs responsibly, disclose conflicts of interest, and ensure the Society operates within legal and ethical frameworks.
The Council also appoints at least one Secretary, who supports governance by maintaining records and ensuring compliance with statutory requirements.
