Please ensure that you use the most up-to-date version._ ###\r\n\r\nThe Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) is Australia\u2019s national regulator of charities.\r\n\r\nSince 3 December 2012, charities wanting to access Commonwealth charity tax concessions (and other benefits), need to register with the ACNC. Although many charities choose to register, registration with the ACNC is voluntary. \r\n\r\nEach financial year, registered charities are required to lodge an Annual Information Statement (AIS) with the ACNC. Charities are required to submit their AIS within six months of the end of their reporting period.\r\n\r\nRegistered charities can apply to the ACNC to have some or all of the information they provide withheld from the ACNC Register. There are only limited circumstances when the ACNC can agree to withhold information, including if the information: \r\n\r\n- is commercially sensitive and could cause harm \r\n- is false, confusing or misleading \r\n- is offensive \r\n- could endanger public safety \r\n- falls within the circumstances allowed by the regulations (such as if the information identifies a private donor in relation to a private ancillary fund). \r\n\r\nIf a charity has applied to have their data withheld, the AIS data relating to that charity has been excluded from this dataset. \r\n\r\nThe AIS information for individual charities can be viewed at [www.acnc.gov.au/charity](acnc.gov.au/charity). \r\n\r\nThis dataset can be used to find the AIS information lodged by multiple charities. It can also be used to filter and sort by different variables across all AIS information. \r\n\r\nThe 2017 AIS collects information about charity finances, and financial information provides a basis for understanding the charity and its activities in greater detail. However, it is easy to misunderstand a charity's financial position or performance by judging it solely on its financial information. \r\n\r\nWhen comparing charities\u2019 financial information it is important to consider each charity's unique situation. This is particularly true for small charities, which are not compelled to provide financial reports \u2013 reports that often contain more details about their financial position and activities \u2013 as part of their AIS. \r\n\r\nFor more information on interpreting financial information, please refer to the [ACNC website](https://www.acnc.gov.au/for-public/understanding-charities/financial-information-charity-register-0). \r\n\r\nThe ACNC also publishes other datasets on data.gov.au as part of our commitment to open data and transparent regulation. Please click [here](http://data.gov.au/dataset?q=acnc) to view them. \r\n\r\nNOTE: It is possible that some information in this dataset might be subject to a future request from a charity to have their information withheld. If this occurs, this information will still appear in the dataset until the next update. \r\n\r\nPlease consider this risk when using this dataset. \r\n\r\nPlease use the attached explanatory notes to help with analysis of this dataset.", "num_resources": 3, "num_tags": 7, "organization": {"id": "4d907503-b2aa-4c38-ac13-1273e791cb08", "name": "acnc", "title": "Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC)", "type": "organization", "description": "The ACNC is the national regulator of charities and was established in December 2012 to achieve the following objects:\r\n\r\n- maintain, protect and enhance public trust and confidence in the sector \r\n- support and sustain a robust, vibrant, independent and innovative not-for-profit sector\r\n- promote the reduction of unnecessary regulatory obligations on the sector.\r\n\r\n## NOTE: \r\n\r\nIf you would like to confirm if an organisation is registered as a charity, or if you would like to view more information on individual charities, please use the [ACNC Charity Register](https://www.acnc.gov.au/charity).", "image_url": "https://www.acnc.gov.au/sites/all/themes/custom/acnc/logo.svg", "created": "2013-09-03T01:20:25.828188", "is_organization": true, "approval_status": "approved", "state": "active"}, "original_harvest_source": {"site_url": "https://data.gov.au/data/dataset/", "href": "https://data.gov.au/data/dataset/acnc-2017-annual-information-statement-data", "title": "data.gov.au"}, "owner_org": "4d907503-b2aa-4c38-ac13-1273e791cb08", "private": false, "promotion_level": "0", "spatial_coverage": "http://www.ga.gov.au/place-names/PlaceDetails.jsp?submit1=GA1", "state": "active", "temporal_coverage_from": "2016-07-01 00:00:00", "title": "ACNC 2017 Annual Information Statement Data", "type": "dataset", "unpublished": false, "url": null, "version": null, "resources": [{"cache_last_updated": null, "cache_url": null, "created": "2019-05-01T01:07:42.447665", "datastore_active": true, "datastore_contains_all_records_of_source_file": false, "description": "", "format": "XLSX", "hash": "35b06ab890ad15010404c4ecbd95fc89", "id": "8d020b50-700f-4bc4-8c78-79f83d99be7a", "last_modified": "2026-04-05T20:00:05.439829", "metadata_modified": "2026-04-05T20:00:05.591395", "mimetype": "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet", "mimetype_inner": null, "name": "ACNC 2017 AIS dataset (individual charities)", "package_id": "a1f8626c-fefb-4c4d-86ea-deaa04fb1f6e", "position": 0, "resource_type": null, "size": 37593937, "state": "active", "url": "https://data.gov.au/data/dataset/a1f8626c-fefb-4c4d-86ea-deaa04fb1f6e/resource/8d020b50-700f-4bc4-8c78-79f83d99be7a/download/datadotgov_ais17.xlsx", "url_type": "upload", "zip_extract": false}, {"cache_last_updated": null, "cache_url": null, "created": "2019-05-14T02:30:56.654309", "datastore_active": false, "datastore_contains_all_records_of_source_file": false, "description": "This dataset contains group AIS data for the 2017 reporting period.
