Event

For over fifteen years inquiries have recommended harmonised or national fundraising regulation for Australia. The Ministerial Council on Consumer Affairs (MCCA) is now undertaking a project to harmonise fundraising legislation under the oversight of COAGs Business Regulation and Competition Working Group. At present, fundraising regulation ranges from no regulation in some jurisdictions to significant regulation in other jurisdictions.

MCCA will issue a paper exploring the options for harmonised nonprofit fundraising laws in early 2011 which will explore the arrangements for the administration and enforcement of these laws, as well as their detailed content, and their interaction with the regulatory framework for nonprofit governance and accountability.

Speakers:

• Prof. Myles McGregor-Lowndes, The Australian Centre for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Studies
• Dr Oonagh Breen, School of Law, University College Dublin
• Mr Putnam Barber, The Nancy Bell Evans Center on Nonprofits and Philanthropy, University of Washington
