Treasury and the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) both provide advice to government on policy issues affecting the not-for-profit sector and the administration of that policy. Treasury and the ACNC are committed to working collaboratively and continuously to provide the best possible advice to government in order to maintain, protect and enhance public trust and confidence in the not-for-profit sector.

Purpose of the protocol

Treasury and the ACNC have agreed on a protocol that provides a framework for the working arrangements between Treasury and the ACNC in designing new policies and laws that form the not-for-profit regulatory system, and administering those laws once enacted. This protocol covers all laws administered by the ACNC.
