You could set the visible attribute to false

  <OrgForm organisation="{organisation}" visible="false" />

then in your function set it to true once your UI logic has executed.

[Bindable] //getter ommited.
public funciton set organisation(o:Organisation):void{
    _organisation = o;

    changeForm(); //changes visibility to true.
}

private var saveOrUpdate:String = "Update";

private function changeForm():void{
  if (_organisation.organisationId == null) {
        saveOrUpdate = "Save";
  }

   this.visible = true;
}
