ISSUE 17
Associations info statements

It’s been nearly four months since the new associations law commenced and
we hope that associations and clubs have begun to familiarise themselves
with the new requirements. This month’s newsletter focuses on the
requirement to submit an information statement.



*Incorporated associations and clubs are now required to submit an
information statement (statement) to the Commissioner for Consumer
Protection every year.*



This statement confirms for the Commissioner that:

   - an association is still active and eligible to be incorporated;
   - the address details held by Consumer Protection are correct; and
   - the association has met its obligation to hold an Annual General
   Meeting for the year.

Is it time to submit your statement?

The statement needs to be lodged with Consumer Protection within six months
after the end of an association’s financial year. So for associations
operating on a 1 July – 30 June financial year the first statement should
be provided by no later than 31 December 2016.



*Remember:  Associations are able to choose their own financial year so the
due date for the information statement may differ between groups.*

Lodging the statement

The statement can be lodged by either the Primary or Authorised user linked
to the association’s account using AssociationsOnline
<http://associationsandcharitiesbranchdepartmentofcommerce.cmail20.com/t/i-l-kdjlhyk-puikjikli-d/>.
Enrolment is free and you will be able to connect to your association and
access historical information.
