Answer

1846. Some of these will no longer be operating or changed to a different corporate form. Incorporated societies that wish to continue operating but have missed the deadline can apply to the Registrar of Incorporated Societies to be restored to the register. Once they have a revised constitution compliant with the Incorporated Societies Act 2022, the process is straightforward. I encourage these societies to act as soon as possible to minimise disruption to their activities.
