In this fortnight's column...

In this fortnight's edition, the Hon Dr Gary Johns discusses the New South Wales and Queensland bush fires, new podcasts for RSLs, 2019 Annual Information Statement and more. 

Final webinar of the year

Our final free webinar of the year will be held next week on 21 November. 

The webinar will cover what charities need to report to the ACNC and when and will help you to prepare to submit your 2019 Annual Information Statement.

2019 Annual Information Statement

The Hon Dr Gary Johns intends to issue a blanket extension to all charities with an Address For Service in the fire affected areas. A list of these postcodes will be published on our website shortly. 

For all other charities operating on a standard financial year (1 July to 30 June), the due date for the 2019 Annual Information Statement is fast approaching. 

2,500 charities have submitted their Annual Information Statements ahead of the 31 January 2020 due date.

I strongly encourage the remaining charities to submit their Annual Information Statements as soon as possible.
