The AGM Agenda is below. It includes a proposal to amend the Association Rules.

The Melbourne Press Club’s Deductible Gift Receipt (DGR) status expires in December 2025, and cannot be renewed. To enable the Club to continue to receive donations and apply for grants, it has applied to the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission to become a charity.

As part of this application process, the Club’s Rules of Incorporation need to be updated, as per the proposed amendment here.

The existing Rules can be found here.
