About
Governance
Our Constitution outlines the principles and framework that guide CREST ANZ’s governance, decision-making, and operational practices, ensuring transparency, fairness, and accountability.
Constitution
The Constitution of CREST ANZ establishes the legal and governance framework as a company limited by guarantee. It clearly defines roles, responsibilities and structures—such as Directors (including Independent and Alternate Directors), the Chair, Vice‑Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Secretary—and sets out how the Board operates, how committees are formed, and how general meetings are conducted. It also specifies administrative details like the company’s financial year (1 July to 30 June), registration, voting via proxies, and maintenance of the membership register.
Adherence to the Constitution is a mandatory requirement for CREST ANZ members. Organisations applying for membership must undertake to abide by its provisions, which confer essential governance rights and obligations. These include accountability mechanisms via audits, annual reviews of policy and procedures and compliance with CREST ANZ’s Code of Conduct. The constitution underpins all membership eligibility criteria and ensures that both organisations and their accredited professional personnel uphold CREST ANZ’s standards for professionalism and integrity.
