Notify us of changes to these details

You must tell us about any changes to your incorporated association’s details on the public register of incorporated associations in Victoria.
You need to notify us when your incorporated association:

When to notify us

Please notify us of changes to your association's name or rules within 28 days.

For all other changes, notify us within 14 days. Please refer to the Update details section above.

If you have made a change but have not notified us within the required timeframes, please do so as soon as possible.

Keep your association’s details up to date or it may miss important notifications from us.

Transfer an incorporated association to company limited by guarantee

You must also tell us if your incorporated association transfers its registration to become a company limited by guarantee, within 14 days of the transfer occurring.

Your association must first approve the transfer, and any associated change of name, by passing a special resolution at a general meeting. You must submit to us:

  • a copy of the meeting minutes showing the resolutions
  • a copy of the company’s certificate of registration with the Australian Securities and Investment Commission
  • any outstanding association annual statements.

Submitting the correct documents will ensure that your organisation:

  • is no longer subject to the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012, and
  • will be removed from the public register of incorporated associations.

Annual statement

Your association must lodge an annual statement with us every year within one month after its annual general meeting. For more information, view Lodging an annual statement for incorporated associations.
