Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission - Australian Charity Law Seminar
Channel: ACOSS
Date: 2012-09-03

In July and August 2012 the Australian Council of Social Service (http://acoss.org.au) led a series of seminars to brief charities and not-for-profit organisations about regulatory reforms underway in our sector. The seminars provided an opportunity for community organisations to hear the latest news on:

• the establishment of the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission and what it means for organisations; 
• the objectives of a modernised definition of charity; and
• next steps towards these reforms and organisations could stay involved.

In this session,Susan Pascoe, Interim Commissioner of the ACNC and ACOSS Deputy CEO Tessa Boyd-Caine discuss the establishment of the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission and what it means for organisations.

We are pleased to provide resources from these seminars, including videos and powerpoint presentations from the sessions on 24 July in Melbourne and 10 August in Sydney, on our website http://acoss.org.au/policy/sector_development/charity_law_seminars/ .

ACOSS acknowledges the National Australia Bank without whose support these events and resources would not have been made available.
