A proprietary company limited by shares can be registered as a charity as long as its governing document makes clear that it must operate on a not-for-profit basis, and that it does not allow shareholders to receive private benefits.
However, any governing document generally appropriate for a proprietary company limited by shares will need significant amendments for it to also be appropriate for use if that organisation seeks registration as a charity with the ACNC.
