    INC - a guide for incorporated associations in WA

    • Document owner: Consumer Protection, Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (Western Australian Government), 2017.
    • Purpose & how to use: The full, official Western Australian government guide for incorporated associations, prepared by Consumer Protection (Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety) in 2017. Use it as the authoritative reference when working through any aspect of running an incorporated association in WA.
    • Who it's for: Any WA-based incorporated association — committee members, treasurers, secretaries, public officers and members — particularly those wanting more depth than the short Town Team how-to guides.
    • Key points: This is a comprehensive 150+ page handbook covering the full lifecycle of an incorporated association in WA, including transitioning to the Associations Incorporation Act 2015, becoming incorporated, the management committee's duties, record keeping, meetings, altering the rules, dispute resolution, accounts and auditing, taxation, fundraising, grants, employment, discrimination and harassment, insurance and risk management, OSH and workers' compensation, volunteers, sporting and recreational clubs, copyright, and "the end of the road" (winding up). It's essentially the master reference that the shorter Town Team incorporation guides distil from.
