South Australia’s largest member organisation has officially transitioned to a new legal structure designed to strengthen its future for its members.
As of today, 1 July 2025, RAA has moved its governance structure to a Company Limited by Guarantee under the Commonwealth Corporations Act.
Previously operating under a structure intended for much smaller entities RAA members endorsed the change, which brings RAA in line with other motoring clubs and leading non-profits across the country.
Under the move, members will benefit from more contemporary governance, positioning the organisation strongly for the future.
RAA Chair Kathy Gramp said the change would have no impact on the services RAA members receive, or RAA’s status as a mutual organisation.
“There’s been a lot of behind-the-scenes work by the RAA team to ensure a seamless transition for our members.
“We are, and always will be, a proud mutual (membership) organisation, and our members’ ability to influence our decision-making through voting rights remains as strong as ever.
“In fact, RAA members’ rights are now strengthened under our new Constitution.”
RAA CEO Nick Reade said RAA had well and truly outgrown the Associations Act, which is more appropriate for small not-for-profit and community organisations.
“RAA has more than 830,000 members and is a much more diverse organisation than ever before,” Mr Reade said.
“Now, with all our operations under the Corporations Act, we’ve modernised our corporate governance and set RAA up for a strong future.”
