Our Governance
​

Picture
The Australian and New Zealand Gastroenterology International Training Association Ltd is an Australian public company limited by guarantee. We are also known by the acronym of our name - ANZGITA.

Our Constitution specifies the rules governing the relationship between and activities of the company, our directors and members. The affairs of the company are managed by a Board of Directors. The Board has also instituted some committees to concentrate on specific activities.

Our business activities are regulated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. Our Australian Company Number (ACN) is 601657185. Deductible Gift Receipt (DGR) status has been granted by the Australian Tax Office.

​We are a registered charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC). Our Certificate of Registration can be inspected at the bottom of this page. We are registered with the following subtypes:
  • advancing health
  • advancing education
  • an institution whose principal activity is to promote the prevention or control of diseases in human beings (health promotion charity).

An Annual General Meeting (AGM) is usually held during the Australian Gastroenterology Week (AGW) conference which is when the largest number of our members and industry supporters are in one location. The 2020 AGM was held as a webinar on 31 August with over 50 members and guests in attendance. All documentation can be viewed on the 2020 AGM page.

An Annual Report is published. The 2019/20 report and previous reports can be viewed here.

Although we are not members of the Australian Council for International Development (ACFID), we are building our governance structures, policies and processes in a way that is consistent with ACFID's Code of Conduct.

ANZGITA is growing in complexity as we have incorporated and committed to adopting best practice standards for Australian charities operating overseas. Management will become more complex as our activities continue to expand but the resources involved will remain predominately pro bono in nature. However, there is a need for funding to cover operational businesss items including programs administration, insurances, legal advice, IT, website maintenance, communicating our presence to prospective supporters of all ilks, financial audits, ACNC reporting and general office expenses (e.g. teleconferencing).
