Compliance action against charities
The ACNC's compliance powers include providing regulatory advice, enforceable undertakings, directions, suspending or removing board members, and ultimately, revoking charity registration.
Raise a concern
We take concerns about registered charities seriously. We review every concern we receive to understand the issues raised and refer concerns to other agencies if needed. Information from the public provides us with valuable insight about the charities we regulate and contributes to our understanding of how charities are governed.
