Commissioner of the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission

Associations Incorporation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2019

This bill modernises Queensland's Associations Incorporation Act 1981 and Collections Act 1966 to improve how the state's 22,660 incorporated associations and thousands of charitable entities are governed and regulated. It introduces clearer governance duties for committee members, removes duplicate reporting requirements for organisations already registered with the national charities commission, and gives associations better tools for resolving disputes and managing financial difficulties.
