Amalgamation with other incorporated associations

Members of each incorporated association must:

• pass a special resolution to amalgamate, and
• approve the objects and constitution of the new, amalgamated incorpoated association.  

The incorporated associations must approve the amalgamation terms. This includes how the incorporated association will operate in the future.

See resolutions for more information.  

The name of the new incorporated association can be:

• the name of one of the amalgamating incorporated associations, or
• a new name.

See naming your incorporated association for more information. 

The proposed public officer for the amalgamated incorporated association is required to lodge a Form A3 Application for registration of an amalgamated incorporated association with the prescribed fee.

The application must include:

• the Form A3 supplement signed by the public officer for each of the amalgamating incorporated associations
• an estimate of the income and expenditure of the proposed amalgamated incorporated associations which is the estimate for the first financial year of the new incorporated association
• an estimate of the combined assets and liabilities of the proposed amalgamated incorporated association
• a copy of the special resolution passed by each of the amalgamating incorporated associations
• ensure all outstanding Form A12 Annual summaries of financial affairs have been lodged for the amalgamating incorporated associations as stated in Form A3.
