Rules
The ADA is a federation of sovereign organisations which share common purposes, serve a common membership, and have constitutional linkages to ensure continuing alignment. This was formally recognised when an authorisation was granted by the ACCC in 1996, permitting the Branches to require membership of the ADA Inc. as a condition of membership.
