Association Incorporation Act

In reply to Mr TEAGUE (Heysen) (25 June 2024). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. A. MICHAELS (Enfield—Minister for Small and Family Business, Minister for Consumer and Business Affairs, Minister for Arts): I have been advised of the following:

In relation to incorporated associations that are involving or are for the benefit of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander communities, it is difficult to determine how many are governed by associations that are incorporated under the Associations Incorporation Act 1985.

For example, not all of these associations would have the term 'Aboriginal' or 'Torres Strait Islander' in their title.
