Structure and Governance

The Australian Peacekeeper and Peacemaker Veterans’ Association (APPVA) is a company limited by guarantee with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). It is also registered as a charity with the Australian Charities and Not-For-Profits Commission (ACNC). Therefore, for regulatory matters the APPVA is governed by:

  • ASIC for anything relating to its corporate status, and
  • the ACNC for anything relating to its charitable status.

The governance model has board of directors responsible for setting and monitoring the strategic direction of the APPVA, and a management committee accountable for operating the APPVA on a day-to-day basis.
