Club Management
This section will provide advice to best manage your fishing club.
Insurance
Insurance is essential for fishing clubs to protect against a range of risks that can arise during club activities, both on and off the water.
Insurance policies tailored for fishing clubs will often include coverage for general liability, management liability, and professional indemnity, ensuring that both the club and its committee are protected from claims related to negligence, management decisions, or advice given during club activities.
Specialist insurance brokers can provide tailored insurance packages for recreational fishing clubs, covering a broad range of risks.

Club Governance
Incorporation
In Victoria, a club or community group that operates as a not-for-profit can be registered as an incorporated association.
Becoming an incorporated association means that your fishing club has a formal legal structure. It allows your club to enter into contracts in its own name, to open a club bank account, manage taxes and apply for grants.
To register as an incorporated association with Consumer Affairs Victoria, you require at least five members and your club must not be operating for profit.
Find out more via Consumer Affairs Victoria.
