Our business

RACV, we're there for every one of our 2.1 million members

Corporate governance

RACV has more than 2.1 million members and, as a mutual, operates in a very different way to shareholder-based companies. The attached documents outline RACV's governance frameworks:

Strategic statement

RACV exists to improve the lives of Victorians by addressing their needs in the areas of mobility, home and leisure and continuing to be their advocate.

A stronger, more relevant RACV

Following a formal review in mid-2016, a new corporate strategy for RACV was announced. The new strategy aims to build a stronger and more relevant RACV – one that provides members with both increased benefits and ensures the long-term sustainability of our organisation.

The overarching aims of the new strategy are to:

  • Grow membership at least as fast as the Victorian population
  • Deliver more products and services to more members
  • Make membership more meaningful and relevant for all members

This means:

  • A larger home portfolio
  • A larger portfolio of non-car mobility products and services
  • A larger leisure portfolio, not only focused on physical assets
  • Bigger and more self-sustaining community initiatives
  • New and improved channels to market, giving members better interaction and choice
  • A fit-for-purpose back office
  • Investments for members which deliver long-term value

More innovative and agile

To achieve these goals and to meet future challenges in a rapidly changing and competitive environment, RACV must become more innovative and agile.

In order to achieve this, significant investments are being made in our organisational capabilities to improve our technology and e-commerce platforms.

Extraordinary General Meeting

An Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of members will be held on Wednesday 1 May 2019 at 10:30am on level 2 of the RACV City Club, 501 Bourke Street, Melbourne.

This EGM will allow Club Members to consider and (if thought fit) approve, by special resolution, amendments proposed to RACV’s Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association.

The proposed amendments aim to:

  • Amend the objects of RACV to better reflect the organisation’s purposes and business activities;
  • Amend eligibility and tenure requirements for Directors;
  • Confirm the retirement date for Directors and clarify the Board’s power to fill casual vacancies; and
  • Vary other miscellaneous provisions.

A full notice of meeting will be available on this website on 5 April 2019.

By order of RACV Board of Directors
