ACT Incorporated Associations Public Register is the territory register operated by Access Canberra, City and Environment Directorate, ACT Government. It records associations incorporated in the ACT under the Associations Incorporation Act 1991. Five fields are displayed for every record: Association number (format A#####, e.g. A00266), Association name, Status, Date of incorporation and Date of cessation.
Domain Rating is a dated Ahrefs snapshot of domain authority. PetroHrys Score is an independent editorial assessment of the directory’s practical business value. They are separate measurements and are never combined. Domain Rating values are dated historical Ahrefs snapshots. Domain Rating is a dated historical measurement of the shared domain, not an assessment of this individual registry page. New measurements are not collected because the Research Center does not depend on mandatory authenticated APIs. Where several registries are published on one measured domain they repeat that domain’s single dated snapshot rather than each carrying a figure of its own. Domain Rating is a third-party metric produced by their respective providers, not by PetroHrys.com. Each recorded value carries its provider and the date it was measured, and describes the domain that was measured rather than one page on it. No source has been consulted for authority score, estimated traffic and referring domains, so they are not published for any record.
ACT Incorporated Associations Public Register can be searched free of charge and without an account, directly from Access Canberra, City and Environment Directorate, ACT Government.
With 6,156 records including lapsed entities and cessation dates, it supports due diligence on ACT clubs, community organisations, sporting bodies and not-for-profits: confirming an entity is genuinely incorporated, retrieving its A-number for correspondence or grant applications, checking whether it has lapsed, and establishing how long it has existed.
Holds 6,156 records, the register itself reporting "Showing 1 - 10 / 6156 of 6156 results" (register page).
Incorporated associations are an ACT territory legal structure created under the Associations Incorporation Act 1991; ASIC neither registers nor lists them, and they carry a territory association number (A#####) rather than an ACN. Nothing in this register is a company, a business name, a financial adviser or a banned person, so it is not reachable through the already-published "Search ASIC registers" record and is not an ASIC Connect tab. The boundary runs the other way too: Access Canberra's own hub blurb loosely says its registers include lists about "companies", but no ACT company register exists — company registration in Australia is federal through ASIC.
Limitations
It establishes that an entity is or was an ACT incorporated association and gives its number, status and incorporation/cessation dates — nothing more. It does not establish anything about ASIC-registered companies or business names, and an ACT incorporated association has an association number, not an ACN. It does not show committee members, the public officer, the registered office, the association's rules or objects, or any financial or annual statement; Access Canberra states that "the documentation is made available to the public for a fee", and s 11 of the Act provides for copies or extracts on request, obtained through a paid Association Search request.
Only five fields per record, and no per-record detail page — clicking a row does not navigate anywhere, so the register cannot yield officers, public officer, registered office, rules or financials.
Anything beyond those five fields is paywalled: documents lodged for an association are released only via a fee-bearing Association Search request.
The free tier returns index data; extracts, certificates and lodged documents are a separate paid product.

Establishing required submission assets requires submitting a listing and observing the result. That has not been done for any directory in this dataset, so it is not published rather than estimated.

The PetroHrys Score is a first-party editorial assessment, not a third-party
authority metric. It is the weighted sum of the ten factors above, divided by ten, so the number
on this page is reproducible from the values shown. Each factor is scored from 0 to 10 by a human reviewer and weighted as shown. The definitions describe what was weighed, not a rubric: no threshold or formula maps a directory onto a value, and two reviewers could reach different numbers. The score is reproducible from the factors shown on every record, but it is an editorial judgement, not a measurement.
