Until the new Act and the new Regulation commence, the existing Associations Incorporation Act 1984 will remain in place and the current requirements still apply to all incorporated associations.

NGOs incorporated under this legislation, and other interested stakeholders, are encouraged to make submission on the draft regulations. Details on how to make a submission are contained in the regulatory impact statement (see link below).

NCOSS has submitted its recommendations to the the Associations Incorporations draft Regulation.
