Amendment to the Constitution
At the AGM, members and their proxies voted in favour of the special resolution to amend the Constitution with the insertion of a new clause 31.4 as follows:
“31.4 Without limiting clauses 30.1, 31.1, 31.2 or 31.3, a member (whether an individual member, a corporate member or an honorary life member) automatically ceases to be a member where they do not respond within sixty (60) days of the date of a notice given in writing by or on behalf of the Company requesting that member to update or verify their contact or membership details. Any member who ceases to be a member under this clause 31.4 and who contacts the Company for reinstatement within the 6-month period following their cessation is to be immediately reinstated as a member. Nothing in this clause 31.4 prevents a member who has ceased being a member under this clause from reapplying to become a member.”

Ms Gyl Stacey
Gyl Stacey has been the Chair of the Board of Spinal Life Australia since 2019, and in that time, the organisation has performed well ahead of its peers in service delivery, customer satisfaction and extensive advocacy.
Gyl joined the Board in 2016, initially appointed because of her decades of lived experience with paraplegia, her extensive business skills and, more than that, her passion to make the world a better place for people with disabilities.
She has won awards as a senior executive, guiding organisations through the changes forced by technology, economic conditions and public expectation. She has a Bachelor of Business and is a Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
Most recently, in a vote of confidence in the organisation’s strategy and ability to deliver, Spinal Life Australia was awarded a grant of $30 million for a new Healthy Living Centre, a project that is now underway.
