    What is an unincorporated or incorporated club or association?

    A club or association is a group of people who agree to act together as an organisation. There are two types of clubs and associations: • Unincorporated – Not regarded as a legal entity. Usually a collection of people acting together for a common purpose (e.g., a social club). • Incorporated – Considered a legal entity that exists separate from its members. It operates within a legal structure and must have a set of rules (e.g., a strata corporation or sporting club) To open an account for your club or association, follow the steps below.

      Step 1. Setting up your business membership

      You'll need at least two but no more than four officeholders for this type of membership. Officeholders include the president, chair, secretary and treasurer. Do all officeholders have a personal membership with People's Choice? Yes – Great! Proceed to the next step. No – A minimum of at least one officeholder must be a personal member for a minimum of 12 months to apply for a club or association membership. Other officeholders who have not had their ID verified need to pop into one of our branches to do so.
