  • financial year July-June with AGM by 30 Sept that year
  • no cash payments over $50, all other transactions by cheque
  • the secretary is the public officer
  • audit exemption applies but a special general meeting can request an audit
  • any rules not specified by the DFJSC constitution defaults to the model rules for associations
