What is an incorporated association?

General information from Lawmateanz

An incorporated association is a legal structure for community groups, registered under state or territory law.

It gives members limited liability and lets the group hold property and enter contracts.

Associations must have rules and meet reporting requirements.

Your state's fair trading or consumer affairs agency regulates them.
