Key Documents
We invite feedback on the draft Australian Charities and Not‑for‑profits Commission (Consequential and Transitional) Regulations 2025. It extends the transitional reporting arrangement for charities to 2028–29.
Registered charities must report to the Australian Charities and Not‑for‑profits Commission (ACNC). The arrangement gives charities an alternate way to meet this requirement. The ACNC can accept reports and financial statements the charity gave to another government regulator.
The arrangement currently applies to prescribed financial years – from 2015–16 to 2023–24. The government announced it would extend the arrangement in the 2024–25 Budget.
This reduces the reporting burden on charities. For more information, visit the ACNC website.
