    The NZ Charities Commission has released its final annual report (covering the 2011-2012 year). In 2011, the Government announced plans to disestablish the Charities Commission and transfer its functions to the Department of Internal Affairs. Legislation was enacted on 6 June 2012 that transferred the Commission’s functions to the Department on 1 July 2012 and disestablished the Commission on that date. As a result, this 2011-12 Annual Report is the final one produced for the Commission and has been prepared by the Department.

    The Australian Government’s introduction of the Fair Work Act provided a new broader test for equal pay that is based on equal or comparable work. The Australian Government supported the case of social and community sector workers before Fair Work Australia. FWA’s decision is the first ever successful pay equity claim in the national system, and a significant advance for equal pay for women. The Australian Government will pay supplementation to organisations that deliver in-scope Commonwealth programs. The Australian Government will also pay its share of the increases to organisations who deliver in-scope programs through Commonwealth-State Agreements. For More information

    Members of AuSAE will notice this site looking substantially different from previously. This rebrand is part of a comprehensive suite of changes implemented as a result of a recent member survey taken to better understand the needs of our members.

     

    We were overwhelmed with the response and truly appreciated the significant number of members who took the time to respond. Thank you to all those who responded.

     

    We listened to what was said and understood that some significant changes would be required to ensure your membership delivers value far in excess of the membership fees charged..

     

    Exciting changes at AuSAE

     

    I am pleased to report that these changes are well underway including:

    • Launching a new website that is structured to provide you with access to the resources you said you wanted.
    • Increasing the number of events running in each region. We have already scheduled three networking lunches in each major city with more events on their way.
    • Adding new membership categories to provide greater flexibility to members including Young Association Professional and Temporary Sabbatical (for those temporarily leaving the professional for family, study or other reasons).

    A new management company

     

    There are still more enhancements to come and we will keep you informed as these happen. To assist us to make these changes we have engaged the services of a new management company. The team at Strategic Membership Solutions are coordinating the implementation of a range of strategies designed to assist you to be more successful in your career.
