With many charities holding AGMs and welcoming new board or committee members, our September webinar looked at how to properly induct new Responsible People, as well as emphasising the vital role they have in a charity's governance. The webinar provided practical guidance and tips for successful charity induction programs, and examined ACNC Governance Standard 5 - the Standard which establishes the key duties for Responsible People.

Our March webinar looked at the important responsibility that registered charities have to protect young people and vulnerable beneficiaries. In the webinar, we looked at those responsibilities and how they relate to charities' compliance with ACNC Governance Standards and External Conduct Standards. We also examined practical and meaningful ways charities can ensure they are fulfilling their role in this area.

Our May webinar looked at the enhanced ACNC Charity Register - it examined the Register's new features, as well as how charities can get the most out of it.

This joint webinar with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) covered some important ground for charities, including information on charity tax concessions - including deductible gift recipient status (DGR) - how the ACNC and ATO work together, and where the various responsibilities for charities lay.

As part of recent reforms to Australia's deductible gift recipient (DGR) provisions, Community Sheds now have the opportunity to receive DGR status, meaning they can offer tax deductions on donations made to them. In this webinar, the ACNC examined the changes, detailed what Community Sheds need to know and looked at whether DGR status is right for all Community Shed organisations.

Our August webinar was co-presented with The Xfactor Collective. We looked at research and work from The Xfactor Collective focusing on the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on charities and their people. The webinar brought together specialist knowledge to help charities understand these impacts and provided practical and meaningful ways for charity leaders to support the wellbeing of the people involved in their charity.

This special webinar aimed to assist charities that have received an influx of donations or funding to help conduct bushfire-related relief efforts, or who are working in areas affected by the recent Australian bushfires.
