We are an independent member-based charity peak body dedicated to building flourishing communities by enhancing the extraordinary work of Australia’s not-for-profit sector. We do this by changing the way governments, communities and the not-for-profit sector relate to one another. In particular, this includes establishing a regulatory environment that works for charities and community organisations – not against them.
Australia prides itself on values of equality, fairness and justice, but instances of racism, hate and violence against Australia’s First Nations people remain pervasive in our society, undermining our social fabric in destructive and costly ways.
Antisemitism, racism and discrimination must not be tolerated or form part of a society that Australians collectively thrive in. Charities, not-for-profits (NFPs) and other social purpose organisations stand in strong solidarity alongside and support our Jewish communities and neighbours so that all members of our diverse multicultural society continue to feel that they can live in a more fair, safe and prosperous Australia that we all want.
