Yes. Based on legal advice, members will have to join the newly incorporated USU. Australian law does not allow personal memberships of an unincorporated association to be moved to another legal entity without the members’ consent.
Joining provides that consent.
The process will be:
Fast and simple
Communicated clearly
Designed so no member loses access to clubs or services
The access to clubs will continue. Rejoining USU will maintain the club’s eligibility. No student will lose club membership because of the transition.
There will be no need to re-join Clubs.
