INCORPORATION

Neighbourhood Houses who are incorporated need to comply with the Associations Incorporations Act.

A copy of the act and regulations can be found in the Victorian Law Today Library.
As of 1 November 2012 a new act was introduced called the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012 (the Act). This replaces the Associations Incorporation Act 1981.
More information on what the changes in the Act mean for your organisation can be found on the Consumer Affairs Victoria website or the ANHLC website.

Organisations looking to incorporate

Incorporated Associations are clubs or community groups, operating not-for-profit, whose members have decided to give their organisation a formal legal structure.
