The Associations Incorporation Act 2009 was passed by New South Wales Parliament on 31 March 2009 but has not yet commenced. The Draft of the Act was released for public comment on the 25 November 2009 and the consultation period closes on 19 February 2010.

Until the new Act and the new Regulation commence, the existing Associations Incorporation Act 1984 will remain in place and the current requirements still apply to all incorporated associations.

NGOs incorporated under this legislation, and other interested stakeholders, are encouraged to make submission on the draft regulations.
