The legislation library now covers state and territory fundraising, charitable collections and community fundraising pathways across NSW, Queensland, Victoria, WA, SA, Tasmania, the ACT and the Northern Territory. This gives charities, social enterprises, clubs, ecommerce brands, event organisers, sponsors and businesses running charity-linked campaigns a clearer place to understand when public donation requests, use of charity names, paid fundraisers, records, receipts, collection licences, approvals, raffles, lotteries and regulator reporting need to be checked before launch.
This batch adds current official-source explainers for workplace injunctions, shareholder-deed control, secured-property enforcement, business insurance disclosure, DOCA funding and member-organisation oppression. The practical thread for small businesses is governance discipline: keep decision reasons, insurance disclosures, meeting notices, funding authority and enforcement records clear before a dispute becomes urgent court work.
Businesses, founders and directors can now browse a cleaner not-for-profit governance cluster covering charity status, ACNC registration, ACNC governance standards, incorporated associations and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander corporations. The pages focus on structure choice, board or committee duties, reporting, public-register details, grants, partnerships and when an operator should get legal help before using charity language publicly.
