All societies must set out their objects in their rules. That is, what is the purpose of the society.
- The objects can be specific (for example, renovating a school swimming pool) or more general (for example, promoting education in New Zealand).
- Ensure that all possible current and future activities of the society will be covered by the objects clause. It could include a general statement allowing the society to do anything necessary to further the society’s aims.
- The purpose of the society must be lawful.
- An incorporated society cannot have an object that allows financial gain for members.
