Our approach
For over 10 years, we have worked to address root causes of unfair or complex laws so that not-for-profit organisations can spend more time doing what they do best, serving their communities and helping people in need.
By leveraging insights and evidence gained from our legal services, we advocate to improve the regulatory environment for Australia’s vibrant not-for-profit sector, especially for small to medium organisations.
We challenge laws and proposed reforms that work against the public interest, increase the administrative burden on organisations and inappropriately require more time and money to be spent to comply. Often, these laws disproportionally impact small to medium sized not-for-profit organisations that marginalised and disadvantaged communities rely on and our legal services support.
By applying our casework evidence and data, we can identify the unintended consequences caused by reforms introduced for corporate sector alone without any consideration of the way it affects not-for-profit organisations in the economy.
Our campaign to #FixFundraising
In early 2023, a significant step was taken towards simplifying fundraising regulations in Australia. State and Territory governments committed to adopting National Fundraising Principles, promising a more harmonised approach across the country. However, progress has been slow.
Our submissions
We use insights to drive systems-level change to benefit many, based on the experiences of the organisations we help. Take a look at some of our recent policy and reform submissions.
