The SGM (of members) held on Thursday evening 26/5/2011 approved the motion to amend the HSA constitution. The amendments had been prepared to bring us in line with government requirements so that we can be fully OAGDS (Overseas Aid Gift Deduction Scheme) approved. This will enable us to send money directly to our overseas projects rather than through other channels, thus saving money otherwise lost to administration.

The Australian Tax Office has notified our executive officer:

"All that you have provided, including the updated information to the constitution is sufficient to qualify for the public fund....So at this stage we can approve your organisation for the public fund as declared by the Treasurer to be a developing country relief fund (Section 30-85)."

Now it will take several months before our new status is gazetted. Praise the Lord for Cliff's persistent hard work on this!
