Illustration for Incorporated Societies Act 2022

You can find regulations to help implement the Incorporated Societies Act 2022. The Governor-General can make these regulations on the Minister's recommendation. They can relate to the implementation of this Act, as stated in Schedule 1. You need to know that these regulations can apply during a transitional period of up to 5 years. The Minister must be satisfied that the regulations are necessary for the orderly implementation of this Act. They must also be consistent with the purposes of this Act, as outlined in Part 1 of Schedule 1. The regulations will stop being in force after 5 years. They are considered secondary legislation, which has its own publication requirements, as stated in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019. The date when the regulations stop being in force is called the 5-year date, which is 5 years after clause 4 of Schedule 1 comes into force.
