Why a Third Sector Roundtable?

Australians commonly divide the world of organisations into two: business and government. But there are hundreds of thousands of organisations that are neither part of government nor run to make a profit for their owners.

Third sector organisations are the product of private initiative. The great majority are both democratically governed and constrained from distributing any profit to members. A very few modify one or other (but never both) of these two distinguishing features.

This article by Mark Lyons examines the diversity of such organisations.
