15th November 2019 - Dissolution of AUSTAFE National

From: National AUSTAFE President – Belinda McPherson

Date: 15th November 2019

Re: Dissolution of AUSTAFE Inc.

Today AUSTAFE National Executive committee met in Queensland to discuss the future of AUSTAFE National.
After much discussion, a motion was moved and accepted by all to dissolve AUSTAFE National and transfer all National activity and funds to AUSTAFE Queensland.
This has not been an easy decision and one that the Executive have struggled with for some years. The ongoing situation with TAFE across Australia has been challenging for AUSTAFE members and has seen a reluctance of institutions and administrative bodies to allow members to attend conferences and events and a decrease in support for travel to AUSTAFE events.

While TAFE Queensland has experienced similar difficulties in participating in National AUSTAFE events, the Queensland Chapter of AUSTAFE remains strong, conducts many State based activities and events and has a large active membership.
Queensland AUSTAFE retains the largest membership in AUSTAFE National and it is appropriate that the National body dissolve remaining finances to this chapter.

Under part 7, section 1, paragraph (a) of the AUSTAFE constitution 2003, it states;
“… the National Executive shall defer action for twenty eight (28 days) after which, unless it has received a petition for a General Meeting at which a Special Resolution is proposed to rescind the motion of dissolution it shall proceed forthwith or at such other time as determined by the National Executive to realise the property of AUSTAFE Inc. and to discharge all of its liabilities”.

The effective first day of the 28 day period is the 15th November with a conclusion date of the 12th December 2019.

Yours sincerely

Belinda McPherson
National AUSTAFE President
