Currently we don’t have an official place where we receive mail. Should we? Perhaps a PO Box in Melbourne? CAV currently has my personal home address listed as its contact point. [Australia Post](https://auspost.com.au/parcels-mail/manage-your-mail/post-office-boxes-bags) says that their small mailboxes are $129/yr + $25 establishment fee. Seems pretty reasonable! ---

Good idea. Can we use PO Box for all mailings? I have a feeling that some mailing still requires residential address. I guess we can start transitioning to PO box and see what could not be done. ---

I can’t see anything in the association rules that say a physical address is required. I’m asking CA via FB messenger if we can use a PO box and will post the answer when I get it. ---

@radar could you please try to change the address and see what it says: > **[Update incorporated association details](https://www.consumer.vic.gov.au/clubs-and-fundraising/incorporated-associations/running-an-incorporated-association/update-details)** > > Explains how incorporated associations can advise Consumer Affairs Victoria of changes to their address, rules, secretary’s details and more. ---

Yes, but first I will need to get a PO Box. ---

On one of the paper forms (not for our organisation type) it says > Address (must be in Victoria and be a street address) So was thinking if web version will have similar description as well. Anyway, will leave that to you 🙂
