New website for not-for-profits

Did you know that the value of volunteering in the not-for-profit sector is estimated at $14.6 billion per year?

This is just one of the fast facts on the new Office for the Not-for-Profit Sector website, which was launched last week.

The Australian Government website also includes a Sector Guide to the Budget, with measures of interest to not-for-profit organisations.

It features downloadable rich-text format (RTF) and PDF documents outlining broad reform measures such as the establishment of an independent regulator for charities and tailored support for job seekers, as well as a list of programs that not-for-profits can access.

The site also features information on the new Australian Charities and Not-For-Profit Commission (ACNC), which aims to improve the accountability and transparency of the sector while removing reporting overlap for general reporting requirements at the Commonwealth level.

The Office for the Not-for-Profit Sector was established in October 2010 to drive and coordinate the not-for-profit sector policy reform agenda and the National Compact - working together.
