ORIC Registrar’s actions to help Aboriginal Corporations during COVID-19
Posted: March 27th, 2020
The Office of the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations (ORIC) is aware of the challenges posed for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander corporations during this period. They are working on temporary provisions to support your operations and governance.
The Registrar continues to operate with staff available for you to contact to help you with any questions you have regarding the operation and governance of your corporation.
The Registrar will use his unique powers and the flexibility of the Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act 2006 (CATSI Act), to help corporations manage the threats and impacts of COVID-19.
A corporation can request the Registrar exercise his power under the CATSI Act to change their rule book to include a set of special rules to assist, without needing to pass a special resolution for this purpose.
