In December 2011, the Government released draft legislation for the new Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission (ACNC), and a discussion paper to gather community feedback on elements of a new reporting framework for charities. Public consultation meetings are scheduled to be held around Australia commencing on 30 January 2012 in Brisbane and concluding on 13 February 2012 in Sydney. Registration details for the consultations are on the ACNC Implementation Taskforce website.
