Has your P&C Association received a letter from the ACNC?
Your P&C Association may have received a letter from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) in 2012 explaining that the Australian Charities
and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) was being established.
The ACNC is now writing to inform all registered charities and not
for profit organisations that they have been transferred from the
ATO to the ACNC, and to ensure that charities are aware that the ACNC is their new independent national regulator. P&C associations are recognised as charitable institutions by the ACNC.

The letter should have a form attached that seeks current information from your members. When completing the form your governance document is a copy of your Constitution. The ‘responsible persons’ are the names and titles of your Officers as elected at your AGM. As a P&C Association your financial reporting period will differ from traditional year-end of 30 June, as such you should note the end of financial year for your association and note the by-laws of your association and historical practice as the reason for seeking a ‘substituted accounting period’.  Information you provide will be published on the ACNC register.

P&C Associations should complete forms they receive and send
them back as per the instructions.
More information visit  ACNC site here.

Centrelink and P&C.

P&C Associations can register for Centrelink Volunteer Organisation status.   This means that eligible Organisations are able to utilise
 the services of people who are obliged to undertake volunteer or community work as part of their agreement with Centrelink.

A P&C has to be incorporated and have current affiliation with
P&C Federation and an Insurance package.

Once your P&C is a Centrelink Registered Volunteer Organisation
a volunteer may bring their form to you for recognition once they
have undertaken the suitable activities.

A win for all members of the community.
