The 2022 Annual Information Statement Hub contains links to information aimed at helping charities complete their 2022 Annual Information Statement.
Charities have an ongoing obligation to report to us, and completing the Annual Information Statement is an important part of meeting this obligation.
The information submitted through charities' Annual Information Statements contributes to improved charity transparency, helps us develop a greater understanding of the sector, and helps us reduce duplicated reporting.
Some information your charity provides in its Annual Information Statement will also appear on its Charity Register page.
This information – particularly information about charity programs - can make your charity's work more visible, providing an opportunity to promote programs and activities to the many potential supporters that visit the Charity Register every day.
To submit your charity's 2022 Annual Information Statement, log into the ACNC Charity Portal.
