Political advocacy and campaigning is a complex area for charities. It is vital charities and their Responsible People take care when deciding the types of advocacy and campaigning they can appropriately undertake, as well as ensuring they are familiar with what they need to avoid.

This Commissioner’s Policy Statement sets out the principles the ACNC will consider when deciding whether to allow a person who has been disqualified from managing corporations to be a Responsible Person for a charity.
To maintain their registration with the ACNC, Australian charities have an ongoing obligation to report annually to us. This means charities must complete and submit an Annual Information Statement and, in the case of medium and large charities, an annual financial report. This report analyses charities’ reporting during the 2020 reporting period.
