Red tape cuts for all Australian charities that conduct fundraising are now in place, with the latest reform now taking effect in Queensland.
Charities that conduct fundraising in Queensland which are registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) are now only required to report information about their fundraising activities to the ACNC in their Annual Information Statement. The ACNC will share that information with Queensland’s Office of Fair Trading, eliminating the need for charities to report to two government bodies.
In addition, Queensland incorporated associations that are also registered charities can now report once to the ACNC and this will satisfy their reporting obligations to the Queensland regulator.
