The Assistant Treasurer on Thur 11.10.2012, announced that South Australia will make amendments to its incorporated associations and charitable collections legislation to harmonise reporting requirements, and authorise charities to collect charitable donations in South Australia, once they have formally registered with the new national regulator, the Australian Charities and Not for profits Commission (ACNC).
Deputy Premier and Attorney-General of South Australia John Rau said the reforms would be of tangible benefit to NFP and volunteer organisations operating in South Australia. “Once the reform process is complete, we will look at our legislation and harmonise reporting processes for small, medium and large organisations within the framework of the new ACNC Act,” Mr Rau said.
