Name changes for associations
Your association can apply to change its name at any time. You will need to:
- pass a special resolution at a general meeting
- select a preferred new name and 2 alternatives.
Within 3 months of passing the resolution, the secretary must:
- complete and lodge an application form for a name change
- send us the original certificate of incorporation
- pay the required fee.
If your preferred name is unavailable, we will give you your next available alternative.
