Outcome of Special Resolutions
At the Annual General Meeting, members strongly endorsed two important special resolutions that set the foundation for Ageing Australia’s future.
Special Resolution one – change of company name
Members approved the change of our legal name from Aged & Community Care Providers Association Ltd to Ageing Australia Ltd.
This decision brings our registered company name into alignment with the brand identity already in use since early 2025.
The new name reflects our strategic direction, sector leadership and commitment to supporting older Australians. It also simplifies member and stakeholder engagement by removing legacy terminology that no longer represents our identity or purpose.
Special Resolution two – amendments to the Constitution
Members also approved essential amendments to the Ageing Australia Constitution:
- updating all references to the new company name
- deleting outdated transition provisions.
These updates streamline our governing document, reduce the risk of confusion and ensure our Constitution reflects the current and future needs of Ageing Australia.
What this means for members
With these changes, we are now legally Ageing Australia Ltd.
This milestone strengthens our ability to act as the trusted, unified voice for providers across the aged care and ageing sector.
We thank members for their strong support in shaping the governance foundations of our organisation and look forward to continuing our shared work to ensure a sustainable, high-quality aged care system for all older Australians.
