If the person preparing this document is intending for it to relate to a meeting which is being held by the members (ie the shareholders) of the company, select "A meeting of the company members (also called the shareholders)".

If the person preparing this document is intending for it to relate to a meeting which is being held by the directors of the company, select "A meeting of the directors".

This Minutes of Members' Meeting document is only designed for use in the case of a meeting by the members of the company. If a directors' meeting is being held, then our Minutes of Directors' Meeting document may be used instead.

Under the Corporations Act 2001 (Commonwealth), (the "Act"), most of the decisions that affect a company need to be made by a resolution. A company's constitution and/or Shareholders' Agreement (if the company has a shareholders' agreement) might also set out what sorts of decisions need to be made by resolution. Some decisions can be made by the company directors, and some need to be made by the company members.

Generally speaking, directors' resolutions relate to the day to day running of a company. For example, a decision to enter a particular contract, or to grant or revoke somebody's signing authority, might be able to be made by directors' resolution.

On the other hand, members' resolutions may be required for decisions that relate to the fundamental details of the company, rather than day to day business matters. For example, decisions relating to the following matters generally require a members' resolution rather than a directors' resolution:

  • changing the type of company
  • changing the company's share structure
  • changing the company constitution
  • adopting a new constitution
  • changing the company name

However, different rules may apply to different types of company. In addition, the company constitution and shareholders agreement (if there is a shareholders agreement) might also say something about how certain decisions must be made (ie whether they should be made by directors or members, and by ordinary resolution or special resolution). Therefore, if in doubt, seek legal advice.
