Weclome to Anna Longley

Yesterday, Anna Longley commenced as the new Assistant Commissioner, General Counsel at the ACNC.

Anna brings with her a wealth of legal experience and joins the ACNC from her previous role as the Assistant Commissioner of Engagement and Assurance, Private Groups and High Wealth Individuals at the Australian Taxation Office.  

I would like to welcome Anna to the team and look forward to working with her. 

2019 Annual Information Statement

More than 5,000 charities have already submitted their 2019 Annual Information Statements.

For charities operating on a standard financial year (1 July to 30 June) the due date is fast approaching, with statements due on 31 January.

I encourage charities to submit their 2019 Annual Information Statement as soon as possible to avoid the last-minute rush.
