It’s time for charities that report to the ACNC on a calendar year basis – 1 January to 31 December – to prepare to submit their 2025 Annual Information Statement (AIS).
The deadline to submit the AIS for this group of charities is 30 June 2026. Charities are encouraged to submit at any time before the due date – and the earlier, the better.
Registered charities must submit an AIS each year to maintain their registration.
Our 2025 Annual Information Statement Hub has a range of practical resources designed to make reporting as easy as possible, including:
- a step‑by‑step 2025 AIS Guide covering every question
- our 2025 AIS webinar that walks through the process
- a pre‑lodgement checklist
- a link to the ACNC Charity Portal, where you submit your AIS.
Feedback from charities that lodged their 2024 AIS shows these resources really help. More than half of survey respondents used the AIS Hub and Guide, with almost all rating them helpful or very helpful. More than 60% of respondents completed their AIS in under an hour.
Charities submit their AIS in the ACNC Charity Portal. See our guidance for help accessing the Portal, including what to do if you can’t see your charity listed when you log in.
Don’t wait until the deadline. Submit your Annual Information Statement early and avoid the last‑minute rush.
