How do I register a charity in Australia?

General information from Lawmateanz

Charities register with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC).

You need a charitable purpose and a governing document.

Registered charities can access tax concessions, but must report annually.

The ACNC website has guidance.
