Off-season is admin season. Before the new year kicks off, here's your quick compliance checklist to keep your club in good standing with Consumer Protection WA:

1️⃣ Submit your Annual Information Statement (AIS) Every incorporated association has to lodge one each year — it's due within 6 months of your financial year ending. It confirms you're still active, eligible to stay incorporated, and that you've held your AGM. Skip it two years running and Consumer Protection can start the process to cancel your incorporation. 🏏 Quick guide below
