Notice of Annual General Meeting

An invitation is extended to all members to join us at the thirty ninth Annual General Meeting of La Trobe University Credit Union Cooperative Ltd.

When: Tuesday 3 August 2010 at 1:00pm
Where: Odeon, Union Building, La Trobe University
Lunch: A light lunch will commence at 12:45pm

To assist with catering arrangements, please confirm your attendance to our Secretary, Doug Andrews by phone 9478 8222 or at before Tuesday 27 July 2010.

What happens at our AGM?
We try to keep the meeting informal and the agenda as simple as possible, however we must comply with Corporations Law:

1. To receive the Credit Union’s Financial Report, the Directors’ Report and the Auditor’s Report for the year ended 31 March 2010.

The Financial Report is posted on our website here.
The report is also available at the Credit Union’s Bundoora office, Albury/Wodonga and Bendigo campus agencies. Please collect a copy or request a copy be mailed to you.

2. Appointment of Directors.

The Constitution provides for nine directors, three being elected each year for a term of three years. A retiring director may stand for re-election without nomination, but must be eligible for re-election under Rule 13.2 of the Credit Union’s Constitution (Eligibility to be a Director). There are currently two vacancies on the Board.

The retiring directors are Charles Mott, Michelle Powell and Robin Young. M. Powell has advised that she will not be standing for re-election. Charles Mott and Robin Young have agreed to stand for re-election. A nomination has been accepted from Gary Best.

The candidates for appointment as director are therefore Gary Best, Charles Mott, and Robin Young.
As the number of candidates for election as director is less than the total number of vacancies to fill, the election process is discontinued and members will vote on the appointment of each candidate as a director until the end of the 2013 AGM by separate resolution.

3. Remuneration of Directors.

To consider the remuneration of directors for the financial year ending 31 March 2011.

Proposed motion: That the maximum aggregate directors’ remuneration be set at $13,500 for the financial year ending 31 March 2011.

Proxy Voting
Should a member be unable to attend the Annual General Meeting, the member may vote by proxy. Your proxy does not have to be a member of the Credit Union.

Proxy forms, together with instructions for completion and return are available on application to the Credit Union’s Bundoora office. Please note that proxy forms must be received by the Secretary no later than 4:30 pm Friday 30 July 2010.

For members attending the meeting in person it will be necessary to register your name for voting purposes prior to the commencement of the meeting. Registration will commence at 12.30 pm.

By order of the Board of Directors, 1 July 2010.
D. W. Andrews, Secretary

rediATM news

La Trobe Credit Union is a partner in the rediATM network.
This network is a Direct Charge-free network.

Withdraw at any rediATM without paying a direct charge fee.

La Trobe Credit Union members now have access to over 3,100 direct charge free ATMs across Australia.

Your Credit Union team is excited to announce a joint initiative with the National Australia Bank (NAB) and rediATM.

From 1 September 2009 the National Australia Bank (NAB) will join the rediATM scheme.

  • Under the new agreement, NAB's 1,700 ATM fleet will combine with the 1,400 rediATM network to create one of the largest ATM networks in Australia.
  • For easy identification, all NAB ATMs will be rebranded to include the rediATM logo.
  • Please note that you will be able to use any NAB ATM direct charge free regardless of whether it has been rebranded.
  • Information on the expanded rediATM network, including locations, will become available in the coming weeks.

Look out for further information in the near future on our website.


In March 2009, owners of Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) must change the way they charge ATM fees to users other than their own customers. This process is known as Direct Charging. These changes are far reaching and will impact the way you will be using ATM and Point of Sale (EFTPOS) outlets with your Redicard beyond March 2009. The changes are in response to the Reserve Bank of Australia’s (RBA) direction to the ATM industry to introduce clearer fees for cardholders.

The RBA has imposed the reforms on the industry in an attempt to provide more transparency to all cardholders. The detrimental impact is that ATM owners will charge the account holder directly rather than the current method of charging the card issuer. From overseas experience ATM fees are going to increase and will vary significantly from ATM to ATM based on things like the ATM location, the time of day, which type of card is using the ATM.

The RBA’s directions require ATM owners to:
• Provide details about how much the cardholder will be charged at the ATM;
• Give all cardholders the opportunity to discontinue the transaction at no cost;
• To charge their fee to the ATM user directly and immediately; and
• Increase the cardholder’s ability to make more informed choices about their ATM usage.
