At the same time the Boards of the 21 UnitingCare agencies concluded their appointment and the directors of Uniting were appointed as the directors of each of the 21 unincorporated UnitingCare boards. During the 2016/17 year, when the Board of Directors met, it did so as the Board of Uniting (Victoria and Tasmania) Ltd and as the Board of each of the 21 unincorporated entities. The first set of consolidated annual financial statements were prepared for the 2016/17 financial year. On 1 July 2017, following both external and internal legal advice, the operations and assets and liabilities of the 21 UnitingCare agencies were transferred to Uniting, enabling the new organisation to have a formal and legal basis in which to act in accordance with legislative requirements, related Church entities and legal frameworks, ASIC and ACNC requirements. This approach also followed for a bona fide structure for government and non-government funding arrangements to be transferred to the Uniting (Victoria and Tasmania) Ltd entity.Uniting Vic.Tas Annual Report 2019-2020 59'
