Amalgamating with other associations

You can apply to amalgamate with other incorporated associations.

Deciding to amalgamate

To decide to amalgamate, your association must:

• hold a general meeting
• pass a special resolution at the meeting
• adopt a single set of proposed rules for the new association
• elect interim officer bearers for the new association
• appoint 1 or more members to prepare the application.

The other association (or associations) must each follow the same process.

Advising us

The next step is to tell us of your intention to amalgamate. You must do this within 3 months of the general meeting.

Forms

You will have to fill out and lodge:

• the application form (amalgamated association)
• an amalgamation notice form.

We will only need 1 application form, but we must get a notice form from all of the original associations.
