Incorporation is designed to help community groups understand more about the New South Whales Associations Incorporation Act 1984. This Act was designed to provide community groups with a simple and inexpensive form of incorporation. Although incorporation is not compulsory, it is an option which community groups should know about. The book will assist groups in NSW who wish to make an informed decision on whether or not to incorporate, and to successfully register and run an incorporated association.
The book covers issues such as:
- What incorporation means
- Why a community group should incorporate
- Eligibility for incorporation and how to go about applying for incorporation
- Steps to take after incorporation and the rules of an association
