Eighth Annual Not for Profits and Charities Legal and Regulatory Conference

The legal and regulatory challenges facing the NFP and charities sector have never been greater. The role of the ACNC continues to evolve, with the Federal Government recently releasing its response to the ACNC review. New external conduct standards have increased compliance burdens, and the Disability and Aged Care Royal Commissions have both shone a spotlight on the treatment of vulnerable members of our society. This year’s conference examines these key challenges, along with sessions on financial resilience, workplace investigations and data protection.
