Charity Lawyerwith expert lawyers

A charity is a not-for-profit (NFP) organisation that operates for a charitable purpose. In other words, it does not intend to make a profit.

Charities are a little different from regular business structures, so it is worth speaking with a lawyer about the process for registering and running one. For example, you need to register and comply with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) requirements. You will also need legal documents specifically required for charities, such as a Charity Charter.

A charity lawyer is a lawyer who can help with the specific legal needs of a charity. For example, a charity’s documents, such as its governing document, need to comply with certain requirements set by the ACNC. The Charity Charter also needs to reflect the charitable purpose. Our charity lawyers can assist with your charity’s legal needs.

If you want to register a charity, you’ll need to register it with the ACNC. To do this, you’ll need to meet certain requirements, such as having a properly worded charitable purpose, getting an ABN, and meeting ongoing charity reporting obligations. The process can be complex if you’re unsure how it works, so it’s a good idea to get help from a legal expert.
