notice of voluntary liquidation
The AFCA Board has resolved to place the Association into voluntary liquidation.
This decision follows an extended period of financial remediation, stakeholder consultation, and unsuccessful efforts to resolve a historical project-related liability and establish a viable long-term operating pathway for the Association.
Since September 2025, the current Board has undertaken extensive efforts to:
- strengthen governance and financial processes;
- reduce operating costs;
- complete outstanding commitments;
- engage transparently with stakeholders; and
- continue progressing key industry reform priorities affecting forest service businesses.
Consultation and feedback received from members and sponsors confirmed that, while there remains strong support for contractor representation and the issues AFCA has been advocating on, confidence in AFCA’s ability to continue effectively under its current structure had been significantly impacted by historical legacy decisions and resulting actions.
The Board concluded that voluntary liquidation represents the most responsible course of action to transparently address the organisation’s liabilities and provide clarity for members, sponsors, and industry stakeholders.
An accompanying Operational Snapshot summarises the tenure and activities of the current Board.
AFCA acknowledges and thanks its members, sponsors, stakeholders, and industry partners for their support and contribution over many years.
Further information regarding the liquidation process will be communicated as appropriate.
Kind regards,
The AFCA Board
