The Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) is the national regulator of charities. The ACNC was established in December 2012 to achieve the following objects:
maintain, protect and enhance public trust and confidence in the Australian not-for-profit sector
support and sustain a robust, vibrant, independent and innovative not-for-profit sector
promote the reduction of unnecessary regulatory obligations on the sector.
The ACNC is led by Commissioner Sue Woodward AM and a strong leadership team. The ACNC Commissioner's position is established by section 110-5 of the ACNC Act. Read more about our leaders.
The Minister responsible for the ACNC is the Assistant Minister for Competition, Charities and Treasury, the Hon Dr Andrew Leigh, MP. Read the Hon Dr Andrew Leigh's biography.
In January 2024, the ACNC received a Statement of Expectations from the Assistant Minister for Competition, Charities and Treasury.
The Statement of Expectations outlines the Australian Government's expectations of how the ACNC Commissioner will ensure the ACNC achieves its objectives, carries out its functions and exercises its powers, while acknowledging the ACNC Commissioner’s statutory independence.
The ACNC’s response, a Statement of Intent, articulates how the ACNC will meet these expectations.
Our role
To achieve our objects, the ACNC:
registers organisations as charities
helps charities understand and meet their obligations through information, guidance, advice and other support
helps the public understand the work of the not-for profit sector through information, guidance, advice and other support
maintains a free and searchable public register so that anyone can look up information about registered charities
works with state and territory governments (as well as federal, state and territory government agencies) to develop a 'report-once, use-often' reporting framework for charities.
The ACNC is established under section 105-5 of the ACNC Act. The objects and functions described above are set out in sections 15-5, 30-5, 40-5, 105-15 and 110-10 of that Act.
The work of the ACNC is guided by our corporate policies and procedures.
