Humanists Australia is a registered Charity structured as a Company Limited by Guarantee.
A Company Limited by Guarantee is a type of public company registered under the Corporations Act 2001 (Corporations Act). Like all other companies, Companies Limited by Guarantee must comply with the applicable provisions of the Corporations Act. They are formed on the principle that the liability of members is limited to the amount they agree to contribute if the company is wound up. This amount is typically nominal ($1 in our case) and set out in the company's constitution. Companies Limited by Guarantee cannot pay dividends.
