PRIVACY STATEMENT

Section 9 of the Associations Incorporations Act 1991 provides for the Registrar-General to collect the information for the purpose of establishing and maintaining the register of incorporated associations.  The register is available for search pursuant to Section 11 of the Act, to any person upon payment of a fee.  The register is also made available to a range of government agencies for law enforcement, administrative and statistical purposes.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The incorporation of an association creates a legal entity, under the management of the committee members.  The committee members are held accountable for ensuring that the association operates in compliance with applicable laws, including the Associations Incorporation Act 1991 (the Act) and the Associations Incorporation Regulation 1991  (the Regulation). The public officer is responsible for acting as a point of contact between the association and the community, and is expected to be able to represent the association in dealings with this office.  The Act prohibits any person from serving as a committee member or the public officer if he/she is insolvent or bankrupt, without leave from the ACT Supreme Court under S.63 of the Act.  A search should be conducted of the records held by the Insolvency and Trustee Service Australia (ITSA) before accepting the nomination of a person as a committee member.  For more information or to conduct a search, visit the ITSA website at www.itsa.gov.au. Further information on the obligations of incorporated associations can be found in the Associations Kit available from the Registrar-General's Office, and on-line at www.rgo.act.gov.au.
