Introduction
The role of the P&C and the role and responsibility of its Executive and members should not be understated. We encourage you to be an active P&C member and know your rights and responsibilities by reading and understanding the information provided in this manual.
This manual has been compiled to assist all P&C Association Executive committees to manage the business of the P&C Association efficiently and accurately.
QCPCA hopes this manual will reaffirm the things your P&C is doing well and help with areas where your P&C may need assistance.
Finally, this manual is designed to be a living document. Information provided will change and updates of this manual will be provided on a regular basis on the QCPCA web site (www.qcpca.org.au). A great deal of information, relevant to P&C operations is available on the website and you should refer to it frequently.
How to use the Manual
This manual is broken up into sections relating to the various operations P&C Associations may have responsibility for.
Each section contains relevant information about that area of P&C business.
Each section has a number of sample forms provided to assist and guide P&Cs.
There may be words and phrases used that are unfamiliar to your P&C members. The glossary provides an explanation of many such terms. You can add to the glossary with those terms specific to your P&C.
