HEWA AGM

About HEWA’s Annual General Meetings (AGMs)

Home-Based Learning Network of WA Incorporated is a not-for-profit association that supports and advocates for home-educating families across Western Australia. The association operates under the name Home Education WA (HEWA).

Each year, HEWA holds an Annual General Meeting (AGM) within six months of the end of the association’s financial year. HEWA’s financial year runs from 1 February to 31 January of the following year.

What happens at the AGM?

  • Acceptance of the minutes from the previous AGM
  • Presentation of the financial statements for the most recent financial year
  • Chairperson’s Report
  • Election of committee members*
  • General business

*The Coordinator position is not elected at the AGM. It is appointed by the committee and, since January 2024, is no longer a paid role.

Who can attend and vote?

Anyone who is a current member of Home Education WA can attend the AGM.

For any voting at the AGM, only those with standard or concession membership are eligible to vote. Affiliate members are not eligible to vote.

There will be an option to complete a proxy nomination, allowing another member to vote on your behalf if you are unable to attend the AGM yourself.

2026 AGM

Date & Time

Sunday 12 July 2026
2:00 PM (AWST)

Format

The AGM will be held online via Microsoft Teams to allow members from across our vast state to attend.

Agenda

  • Acceptance of the minutes from last year’s AGM
  • Financial statements for the last financial year (1 February 2025 – 31 January 2026)
  • Chairperson’s Report
  • Election of committee members (Chairperson, Treasurer and General Committee Members)
  • General business

Committee nominations

We will soon open nominations for Chairperson, Treasurer, and General Committee Members. These are volunteer (unpaid) positions.

These positions are elected by those present at the AGM (current committee members are eligible to re-nominate).

The Coordinator position is not included in this election process because it is appointed by the committee and, until the end of January 2024, was a paid position.

Registrations

Registrations to attend this year’s AGM, held via Microsoft Teams on Sunday 12 July 2026 at 2:00 PM, will open soon.

Once registrations are open, members will be able to sign up to receive the meeting link and related documents.
