Wollongong Spiritualist Church Incorporated
The Wollongong Spiritualist Church Incorporated (ABN 86603151451) is a nonprofit spiritualist organization based in Wollongong, Australia. Registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC), it operates as part of Australia's broader spiritualist movement, which historically advocated for the legal recognition of practices such as mediumship and clairvoyance[^1^].

History and Background
While specific founding details of the Wollongong Spiritualist Church are not publicly documented, its establishment aligns with the mid-to-late 20th-century efforts to legitimize spiritualist practices in Australia. The Church of United Spiritualism of Australia, a related denomination, played a pivotal role in this movement by securing legal recognition for activities previously restricted under laws such as the Vagrancy Act (formerly the Witchcraft Act)[^2^].

Activities
The church likely upholds core spiritualist principles, including communication with spirits, healing practices, and the promotion of philosophical teachings centered on personal spiritual growth. Its operations may include services, workshops, and community outreach programs, reflecting organizational structures common to spiritualist churches in Australia[^3^].

Governance
As a registered charity, the church adheres to ACNC governance standards, including financial accountability and operational transparency. Its affiliation with broader spiritualist networks suggests participation in collaborative efforts to advance spiritualist education and ethical mediumship practices[^4^].
