THE BYLAWS OF THE GAA

The Bylaws of the Federal Council set out the detailed rules and procedures that govern the operation of the Gemmological Association of Australia (GAA). They sit beneath and support the Constitution, providing practical guidance on how the Association conducts its affairs, makes decisions, and fulfils its responsibilities to members. The bylaws are intended to ensure that the GAA functions in a transparent, consistent, and accountable manner.

These rules cover matters such as the roles and responsibilities of Federal Council, procedures for meetings and decision-making, and processes relating to membership and administration. Together with the Constitution, the bylaws form the foundation of the Association’s governance framework and provide clarity for members, office bearers, and staff. The most recent version of the bylaws is available at the link below.
