Running the organisation
The resources in this section are designed to assist Victorian community organisations with the day-to-day running of the organisation. In particular, the focus of this section is on compliance with the legal and regulatory requirements for running not-for-profit community organisations.
The main resource PilchConnect have developed for Victorian incorporated associations is a Guide for public officers and secretaries of Victorian incorporated associations. The Guide is designed to help people in these positions (as well as anyone involved in the day to day running of a Victorian incorporated association) to run an effective, compliant community organisation. For more information about the Guide see:
For other general topics about running not-for-profit community organisations (both incorporated associations and companies limited by guarantee) see:
For legal information about committee of managements, boards or officers in a community organisation, or volunteer or employees, see The people involved section of this website.
