Set up an Incorporated Association in QLD

An incorporated association is a legal structure for organisations, and it is often more cost-effective than registering a company. This structure is regulated at the state or territory level, so it is usually best suited to organisations that operate mainly within one state or territory. For this reason, incorporated associations are often chosen by smaller not-for-profit community organisations, such as sporting clubs.

Setting up an incorporated association is different from setting up a regular company. You need to consider factors such as where you will operate geographically, as incorporated associations are regulated at the state or territory level, as well as limited liability and the required members. Chat to our team if you need help setting up an incorporated association.

An incorporated association is not exactly a company, but it shares many features with one. For example, it has limited liability. So if the association runs into trouble, that liability stays with the association and does not extend to its owners or founders. It exists as its own legal entity and can enter into contracts and own property in its own name.
