NFPs Urge MPs to Pass Charity Bill | Pro Bono Australia

NFPs Urge MPs to Pass Charity Bill | Pro Bono Australia: Eleven peak community and philanthropic groups, including Community Council for Australia, Philanthropy Australia and Changemakers Australia have called for an all-party approach to deliver “essential reforms” they claim are vital for the charitable sector.

The Charity Bill is expected to update the current definition of charity to reflect current day society and bring it into line with legislation in the United Kingdom and New Zealand.

It is also expected to clearly articulate the role of Not for Profits and charities in Australia.
