Charities in Australia are able to access a range of tax concessions that can eliminate an
organisation’s obligation to pay tax. In addition, charities can be authorised by State
and Territory authorities to undertake public fundraising activities such as bingo, raffes
and doorknock appeals. However, although any organisation is able to operate as a Not-For-Profit, that doesn’t automatically make it a charity. There are many rules and regulations that need to be considered when determining the charity status of an organisation.

The purpose of strategic planning is to provide clarity to the organisation by clearly articulating where an organisation wants to be in the future and the steps it plans to take to get there. To provide that clarity, a strategic plan needs to be widely distributed, easily accessible and simple to understand.
