Information about members of your association
There are rules for people to become members and stop being members of an incorporated association, and you must securely keep a register of all members.
Your rules must give details of the:
- requirements for being a member
- conditions for when someone stops being a member.
For example, a person who doesn’t pay their yearly fee might no longer qualify to be a member.
Register of members
Your association’s records must include a register of ordinary members and of committee members.
Under privacy laws, anyone has the right to:
- check records kept about them (including membership details)
- correct any details they believe are inaccurate.
