RACMA is undertaking a regular review of our Constitution. This is to ensure that it remains fit for purpose and reflects the evolving needs of our members, the College, and the practice of medical administration, management and leadership.
This is your opportunity to influence the governance of RACMA.
We are considering changes to the Constitution that would impact who can be a member and who has voting rights, as well as addressing a number of technical issues to continue to improve efficiency.
We need your views on whether you would support these proposed changes. Your expertise and perspectives are invaluable to this process.
Why your input matters
- Recognition: Amendments to membership categories affect who can be a member of the College, and what should be their rights and obligations
- Representation: Changes to voting rights could alter how decisions are made in the College
- Governance: Technical updates will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of College operations.
Process
This consultation genuinely seeks the views of members.
The Board will consider all feedback received and determine which constitutional amendments will be brought to the next Annual General Meeting. The proposed amendments will then be put forward to a vote in accordance with the current constitutional provisions.
We have prepared three consultation papers:
- RACMA Constitution Discussion Paper 1 – Membership
- RACMA Constitution Discussion Paper 2 – Voting Rights
