This provision is based on section 34(3) of the Magistrates' Court Act 1989 but has been broadened to include incorporated associations and any other bodies corporate.

registered bodies within the meaning of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) may be served in accordance with section 601CX of that Act;
incorporated associations within the meaning of the Associations Incorporations Act 1981 may be served in accordance with section 48 of that Act.
Subclause (4) is a default provision and allows service of a document which is not effected in accordance with the previous subclauses to be effected in a number of listed ways including allowing the representative of a body corporate to nominate a method of service.
