Strategic Planning Workshop in June 2021
PBC Executive Office During the reporting period, YMAC’s PBC Executive Office unit provided services to several RNTBCs and one Aboriginal corporation across the Yamatji and Pilbara regions. This included the provision of support in relation to functions as prescribed in the NTA and CATSI Act, as well as requirements per ORIC and their individual Rule Books, (to ensure each corporation meets its legal obligations). YMAC also provided support to other Aboriginal corporations who are governed by the CATSI Act and ORIC regulations. The obligations of PBCs and Aboriginal corporations under the CATSI Act include conducting directors’, annual general and special meetings, maintaining a register of members, keeping accounts and records, and lodging reports with ORIC.
To assist client corporations in meeting these requirements, regular tasks undertaken by the unit include; receiving and sending correspondence on their behalf, organising and facilitating meetings, working with Chairperson/s to prepare agendas, and liaising with stakeholders wanting to engage with them. Further, the unit also works collaboratively with clients to create policies and procedures, coordinates operational requirements, and undertakes governance training to build their capacity to become more self-reliant. Throughout the reporting period, the PBC Executive Office Unit organised and facilitated 45 Board of Directors meetings, conducted 13 workshops that included governance training, and coordinated eight general and two Common Law Holders’ meetings.
