Illustration for Incorporated Societies Act 2022

You can apply for an order under this subpart if you are a society, a member of a society, a former member of a society, an officer of a society, or the Registrar. You can check what a former member of a society means in section 152, and what the Registrar is in section 150. The Registrar can only apply if they think it is in the public interest. The Registrar's decision to apply is limited to cases where they think it is in the public interest. The court can refuse to consider an application, as stated in section 151. This means the court has the power to decide whether or not to consider your application.
