This checklist is for new charity Responsible or Authorised People. It outlines the steps you should take to ensure your charity’s details are up to date, you understand the obligations your charity has to the ACNC, and you have access to the charity in the Charity Portal. You can use this checklist as part of your handover process.
As Australia’s charity regulator, the ACNC’s goal is to be representative of the Australian community and a place where all individuals can make a positive impact. We know that diversity and intersectionality in all their forms contribute to the richness and strength of the sector, and to the ACNC.
The ACNC is governed by strict secrecy provisions. We cannot disclose ‘protected ACNC information’ to anyone other than the person, charity, or entity that the information is about, unless one of the limited exceptions in the ACNC Act applies.
The ACNC is seeking comment on a draft Decision Impact Statement: Equality Australia Ltd and updates to our Commissioner’s Interpretation Statement: Public Benevolent Institutions.
This checklist and guide outline the information your organisation needs to apply for charity registration. You should read this guide before starting your application.
