Definition of Charities and Related Organisations

A report on the recommendations of the independent Inquiry into definitional issues relating to charitable, religious and community service not-for-profit organisations

Charitable, religious and community service not-for-profit organisations play a vital role in our community and are pivotal members of the social coalition.

The Government has recognised their importance in a range of policy areas, including the business and community partnership, illicit drugs policy, welfare reform and the Job Network.

The Inquiry provides the government with options for enhancing the clarity and consistency of the existing definitions with respect to Commonwealth law and administrative practice.
