Did you know that Leigh Place is an Australian charity registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission (ACNC)?
In June 2023, the ACNC released its latest (ninth) edition of its Australian Charities Report.
In key highlights from the report:
- Charities in Australia remain a major employer, accounting for 1.42 million or 10.5% of all Australian employees, with employee numbers increasing by over 40,000 since 2020.
- Challenges for the charity sector continue, such as increased costs of delivery resulting from inflation, revenue, and assets.
- The report confirms the widely observed decline in Australian volunteering, with volunteer numbers dropping to 3.2 million from 3.4 million in 2020. The picture is more sobering when considering the data from 2018, which shows a loss of more than half a million volunteers (596,000) between then and now.
