Starting a new club – Incorporation

An incorporated association is a legally separate body. It has the same powers, benefits and responsibilities as a person.

For example, an incorporated association can, in its own name:

• own property
• sign contracts
• appear in court.

An incorporated association is legally separate from its members. This means that:

• the management committee makes decisions for the association
• the association becomes legally liable for these decisions
• individuals on the committee who act in good faith, within the law and in the best interests of the association are usually not personally liable.

Your incorporated association must:

• comply with the Associations Incorporation Act 1981 and the Associations Incorporation Regulation 1999
• review its financial affairs every year
• lodge copies of your constitution, annual returns and financial statements with the Office of Fair Trading.

The Queensland government has useful information about how to set up and run an incorporated association.
