To create a Weel account for your business or organisation, we need to collect and verify certain information about you and your business. Learn more about why we require this information.
There are three categories of information we require for Associations, typically used by not-for-profits, community groups, or clubs. Most are incorporated under state legislation.
- Applicant - the individual person applying for Weel on behalf of the business, who must be an Australian citizen
