NSW Fair Trading: Changes to Associations Legislation

Thursday, 01 July 2010 02:28

NSW Fair TradingThe Associations Incorporation Act 2009 and Associations Incorporation Regulation 2010 commence on 1 July 2010, with the reforms aimed at helping associations operate more effectively and manage their affairs more easily. The changes are now available on the NSW Fair Trading website; and an information and education campaign will commence soon to ensure they are understood.

 

What will change?
Most of the changes are designed to modernise the law, reduce red tape and allow more flexibility for associations. There will also be stronger protection of association finances. Most of the day–to–day procedures and operations of associations will not be directly impacted. The new laws have been carefully designed to make the transition as smooth as possible for associations.Visit the NSW Fair Trading website for a list of the most important changes.
