No idea about other states, but NSW lists the cost of incorporation as $109 and $47 to lodge an annual statement, I don't think there are any other ongoing fees, just once off fees depending on circumstances.

That isn't much money if there is about 20 people chipping in, 20 is the number of people OSMF suggest as a minimum for a local chapter:
