Incorporated associations are being reminded by the Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulations and Safety (DMIRS) to adhere to their legal requirements or face potential deregistration.
Under s53 of the Associations Incorporation Act 2015 (the Act), incorporated associations are required to lodge an Annual Information Statement (AIS) each year.
This information is given to the Commissioner and confirms that the association is still active, eligible to be incorporated and has held its Annual General Meeting (AGM).
An AIS is due within six months after the end of the association’s financial year. If an incorporated association does not submit an AIS for two or more years, it may be cancelled and/or be fined.
It’s easy to complete via a short, online form.
Incorporated associations are also reminded to update their contact details so DMIRS can keep in touch regarding AIS deadlines and other communications.
