79: Register of members

You could also call this:

"Keep a list of society members with their details"

Illustration for Incorporated Societies Act 2022

You need to keep a record of all your society's members. This record must have the member's name, their last known contact details, and the date they joined. It must also have any other information that the regulations say it should have. You have to update this record as soon as you can when you find out something has changed. This helps keep the information about your members accurate and up to date. You can look at the old rules to see how they compare to the new ones.
