Things to consider when setting up a community organisation

Setting up a new community organisation will take planning. The organisation can be as simple or as complicated as you like – it is up to you to decide on the structure, purpose and activities of your group.

	Getting started If there's a need for the sort of community organisation or activity you are looking for and nothing exists already, setting up a new organisation could be your best option.

	Organisational structures Not-for-profit organisations Unincorporated associations Co-operatives Incorporated associations Foundations Incorporated Aboriginal associations Charities Trusts Companies limited by guarantee
