Ending an incorporated association
Your incorporated association may want to end voluntarily for a variety of reasons or it may be required to end (ie. ending is compulsory).
On many occasions, the ending of an incorporated association will occur by the consent of the members and committee. This will often be the case where an organisation has been set up for a particular cause (for example, a group set up to oppose a planning development), and that cause is no longer relevant.
Alternatively, a group may wish to simply end its association as it no longer wishes to pursue its objectives as an organisation.
The circumstances of the organisation are relevant when determining whether the organisation can voluntarily cancel its registration or whether the members need to wind up their organisation.
Our guides set out the options and processes for ending an incorporated association in each state and territory.
Each guide covers:
- when is an incorporated association insolvent?
- ending a solvent incorporated association
- ending an insolvent incorporated association
- choosing a liquidator or administrator
- consequences of ending an incorporated association
