Our Constitution
Diabetes Wellington Inc. is an Incorporated Society and a Registered Charity (its charity number is CC23717). As a Society registered under the Incorporated Societies Act 2022, it is required to have a set of rules - the "Constitution" - and those rules must meet the requirements of the 2022 Act. Our Constitution was redrafted in 2025 to comply with the new legislation. We consulted Members on that draft and the document was considered at the 2025 AGM. A resolution was passed at that AGM approving the draft Constitution subject to a legal review.
The legal review resulted in a number of changes to:
- better comply with the Act; and
- to make clearer our charitable purpose, given that we are a charitable society.
The resulting document was subsequently submitted to the Companies Office and the Society was re-registered under the 2022 Act.
