An unincorporated entity in Australian law is an entity that has the same characteristics as a company but is not incorporated as a corporations law company.

This includes:

• a branch of an overseas company not incorporated in Australia (often the name ends in corporation)
• incorporated associations which are incorporated under an Act of one of the States and territories of Australia, and
• incorporated charitable institutions.
• people grouped together by a common purpose with club-like characteristics, for example, a sporting club, social club or trade union.

It does not include joint ventures.
