RSA is a single-entity, not-for-profit organisation incorporated as a Company Limited by Guarantee under Australian (federal) law.  In line with the legal requirements and obligations of this structure, the RSA Board has full responsibility for the operations of the organisation and is able to delegate as it sees fit in order to ensure the organisation achieves its objectives. 

RSA directors hold significant responsibilities, both individually and collectively.  Importantly, the Corporations Act requires all directors to act in the best interests of all members of the organisation. They must declare conflicts of interest which can arise by their connections both outside and within the organisation.
