Public Officer
1. Description
Incorporated associations must have a public officer. This person signs most of the forms and documents and should understand what is needed under the Associations Incorporation Act 1985.
The public officer must be:
- 18 years or older
- Resident of South Australia.
The public officer does not have to be elected. The committee may simply appoint a public officer.
2. Responsability
- The public officer receives letters and notices sent by the Corporate Affairs Commission and must file returns and notices of rule and name changes with the Commission.
- The public officer has no power over the management of the association simply because she or he is the public officer. However, the public officer must fulfil the duties applying to officers.
- The public officer does not have to be a committee member.
3. Knowledge and Skills
4. Duties
- Officers of an association must take all reasonable steps to ensure the association complies with the Associations Incorporation Act.
Note: The difference between an executive committee member’s role and other
roles
A executive committee member role is a strategic position within the club and consequently, a executive committee member is responsible for governing the club. A executive committee member’s role should not be confused with
the management and operational roles of an organisation (like a Race Director, Inspector, Timer or Starter). The day-to-day work of the organisation is
managed and completed by these volunteers with the club. Unless you also hold an
execution (operational) role, it is not your responsibility to perform or be involved in the day-to-day
running of the club.
