Commissioner’s Interpretation Statement: Public Benevolent Institutions

The Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) released a Redraft of the Commissioner’s Interpretation Statement: Public Benevolent Institutions (PBI CIS Redraft) for consultation in late June 2022 together with a document setting out four questions on which the ACNC has particularly sought comments.

This submission has been prepared by the Charities and Not-for-profits Committee of the Law Council’s Legal Practice Section (Committee).

In response to the first of the ACNC’s consultation questions, the Committee recommends that significant decisions that may impact on the way that the ACNC interprets and applies the law might better be classified as Decision Impact Statements (DIS), rather than Commissioner’s Interpretation Statements (CIS), and that the scope of the DISs should be expanded beyond cases to which the ACNC is a party.
