Under the new Incorporated Societies Act 2022, all societies must update their rules and re-register under the new law.
ADHD New Zealand’s 2012 rules no longer meet legal or governance requirements. If we don't update these our association may eventually lose it's incorporated status. A Special General Meeting will be held on 2 February 2026 for ADHD New Zealand members to consider and vote on the new rules.
Our board strongly recommends adopting the new rules.
Voting documents
Below you can find the a draft of the proposed rules and an explainer about the rule changes, in both PDF and Word format.
If you are unable to attend the meeting and would like another member to cast a proxy vote for you, there is a template to help you with this too.
