            i To study and teach the work of Carl Gustav Jung and its 
            applications by means of lectures, discussion and study 
            groups. To this end the Society will develop and publish

            journals and papers for the use of members and of other

            ii To associate with similar bodies and interested persons in 
            Australia and elsewhere. 
             
            iii To compile a record of lectures presented at the Meetings of 
            the Society during the year. A copy of this record shall be 
            retained in the Library. 
         
        3. MEMBERSHIP

        4. STATUS AS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANISATION 
        
          The income and property of the Society shall be  used solely for the promotion of its stated objectives. The members and the  office-bearers shall have no rights to the property or other assets of the Society  solely by virtue of them being members or office-bearers. No portion of the  income or property of the Society shall be paid or distributed directly or  indirectly to any person (otherwise than in the ordinary course of undertaking  any public benefit activity) or to any member of the Society or Executive Committee,  except as reasonable compensation for services actually rendered to the Society,  or reimbursement of actual costs or expenses reasonably incurred on behalf of  the Society.  
   
        5. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 
        
                    i The Executive Committee shall administer the affairs of the            Society. 
             
            ii The Executive Committee shall consist of a President, a Vice-President, an Honorary Secretary, an Honorary Treasurer, a Librarian, a Publicity Officer and any other office holder positions created by an Annual General Meeting. Other persons (not holding an office) may also be elected to the Executive Committee at an Annual General Meeting. These officers shall be elected for a period of one year at the Annual General Meeting. 
             
            iii Nominations for such offices shall be completed on an approved 
            form, seconded, signed by the nominee and be in the possession of 
		  the Honorary Secretary at least fourteen days prior to the Annual General Meeting. 
             
            iv All nominations shall be listed on the notice circulated to 
            members advising the date and agenda of the Annual General            Meeting. 
             
            v At the Annual General Meeting a ballot shall first be taken 
            for the office of President, who will then take the chair and 
            conduct the election of the other officers. 
             
            vi Should nominations exceed the number required for any 
            office, the Chairperson shall conduct an election by ballot 
            and appoint a scrutineer. The election shall be by written 
            ballot. The candidate polling the greatest number of votes 
            for the office nominated shall be declared elected. 
             
            vii Should a vacancy occur in any office during the year, the 
            Executive Committee shall appoint a member for the un-
            expired term. 
             
            viii The Executive Committee shall meet as required. 
            ix The quorum of the Executive Committee shall be three (3) members 
            (see Section 10.vi). 
             
            x The Committee shall have the authority to co-opt any person 
            or persons who in their opinion would render service to the            Society. 
             
            xi Should any member behave in a manner contrary to the good 
            order and general wellbeing of the Society, its membership 
            or objectives, such member shall be requested to meet the 
            Executive Committee at a special meeting. Should the Executive 
            Committee after investigation and consideration, find 
            such a member's affiliation with the Society unacceptable 
            such decision shall be conveyed to the next General Meeting 
            at which a quorum is present. If, after hearing any explanation 
            which such member desires to submit, the General 
            Meeting is of the opinion that such a course is warranted, it 
            may then direct that the member's name be removed from the 
            register of members and that further application for membership 
            be refused for a stipulated period.         
         
        6. PRESIDENT 
        
                    The duties of the President shall be:

            the Society. The chairperson shall not exercise a 
            deliberative vote on any motion or in any election but shall 
            exercise a casting vote in the event of a tie. 
             
            ii To convene and preside at meetings of the Executive Committee,

        14. CONSTITUTION
               
                            Any alteration to this Constitution may be dealt with only at an 
            Annual General Meeting or at an Extraordinary General Meeting 
            convened for that purpose. Notice of a motion for alteration to 
            the Constitution must be set out in full in writing and presented 
            to the Honorary Secretary at least one (1) calendar month prior 
            to the meeting at which the proposed alteration is dealt with.             
         
                    15. LIQUIDATION OF THE SOCIETY 
        
                      i Should a time come when the activities of the Society no 
            longer conform to the Objects as defined in paragraph 2; or 
            it is no longer able financially to meet its commitments; or 
            its membership is so reduced as to make the requirements of 
            this Constitution inoperative, then the Society shall be 
            formally closed down. 
             
            ii This closure shall be decided by a majority of the members 
            present at an Extraordinary General Meeting convened for 
            that purpose. The requirement for a quorum shall not apply 
            at such a meeting. 
             
            iii Should there be a bank credit in the name of the Society, 
            such money shall be donated to a charity or other body 
            nominated by the Extraordinary General Meeting. 
             
            iv The Library and any other effects shall be offered to an educational institution or society to be chosen by the Extraordinary          General Meeting.
