Register right the first time.
Presented by the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC), this two-week course gives detailed guidance on registering your charity right the first time.
If you’re thinking of starting a charity, want to find out more about the legal requirements of doing so, or need to adjust your current registration, you’ll find this course invaluable.
Learn the key requirements for becoming a registered charity
On this course, you’ll get a detailed look at all the requirements a charity needs to meet to qualify for ACNC registration, as well as common issues that could prevent registration.
You’ll also learn about the 14 charity subtypes so you can assess which best fit your organisation, improving your chances of a successful registration application even more.
Understand your charity’s legal requirements and possible tax concessions and benefits
You’ll get the chance to examine the legal requirements for governing documents and experiment with model templates.
Being registered as a charity means access to tax concessions and benefits. You’ll be able to investigate tax concessions and other benefits that your organisation might be entitled to.
