The ACNC's Stakeholder Engagement Framework outlines our commitment to engaging with, and being responsive to, the charities we regulate and other stakeholders.
Consulting with the sector ensures that we understand different points of view and are better equipped to make informed decisions about how we will meet our objects.
The ACNC's Charity Forum forms an important part of our sector consultation efforts.
Purpose
The Charity Forum membership comprises invited representatives of the charity sector and professional advisers to the charity sector, primarily from the legal and accounting professions.
The forum brings this membership together with ACNC representatives and invited observer members.
