Registering your charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) has many benefits, such as making your organisation eligible for tax concessions (which, if endorsed, means you do not have to pay income tax). Contact us if you would like to know more!

The Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) is the statutory body responsible for regulating charities in Australia. In order to claim tax exempt status and other benefits, such as the ability to give tax deductible receipts, a charity needs to be registered with the ACNC.

Our fixed-fee Charity Registration packages start at $2300 + GST. This includes an application to the ACNC for registration of your organisation as a charity and phone consultations with a Sprintlaw lawyer who can answer your legal questions and advise you on other relevant issues that may apply to you.
