COMMUNITY BASED SERVICE- AN INCORPORATED ASSOCIATION
As a community-based service, the business of Kialla Childrens Centre is managed by a Voluntary Parent Management Committee alongside the Centre Coordinator.
The building itself is owned by Shepparton City Council and the land premise is owned by Crown Land.
Our Management Committee usually consists of 4-5 Office Bearing Members including:
President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary and Public Officer.
A new committee is elected each year at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) usually in March and the committee of the previous year is dissolved within this agenda also. This means that parents may choose to re-elect each year where they decide to continue in a role.
The way the positions are elected is that families of our service enter into membership of the General Association. They are then responsible to attend this annual meeting and vote upon each individual role.
Once the committee have been elected, they are then responsible to the business of Kialla Childrens Centre. The service director is responsible for the day to day operation and management of the service.
The Committee and Service Director generally meet each month for updates, review and required decision making.
Some of the benefits of being a part of a community based service include:
Being part of a completely not for profit organisation, ensuring that every cent is spent on quality outcomes for children.
As a parent and a potential member of the committee, you have the opportunity to provide input in decision making with regards to important aspects of the centre.
The service is solely focused on what is needed for its children, families and the local community.
