Please take the time to make yourselves familiar with the Exposure draft of the Commissioner’s Interpretation  Statement: Provision of housing by  charities.  It focuses on how Commissioner’s Interpretation Statements provide guidance to ACNC staff, charities and the public on how the ACNC understands the law that applies to charities. These statements reflect our current understanding of the law on charity and are binding on ACNC staff.

As this is a draft statement, please feel free to formulate and submit your own comments before 26 October 2014, where they will be taken into account in finalising this Statement.

See the CHFA National Bulletin Special Edition here.

In addition, please note the amended NRAS regulations. These will affect current holders of NRAS incentives.  The amendments became effective as of September 23, 2014.
