Consultation strengthens achievements detailed by Australia’s charity regulator

Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission

Australia’s charity regulator says a fresh focus on consultation has strengthened its work to build public confidence in the sector. The Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) 2022-23 annual report has been tabled in Parliament.

ACNC Commissioner Sue Woodward AM said the report demonstrates the breadth of the Commission’s work and achievements. “In 2022–23, we strengthened our focus on consultation with the sector and on maximising the impact of our data, such as that available on the Charity Register, which is viewed millions of times each year,” Ms Woodward said.

The ACNC participated in and spoke at almost 200 charity sector conferences and forums. Significant consultation took place on key pieces including Commissioner Interpretation Statement reviews and changes to related party transaction reporting. The ACNC Sector Forum, Adviser Forum and Consultation Panel continued to provide insights and feedback.

The Commission made 20 submissions
