REGULATION AND REPORTING INCREASES FOR AISSA AND ITS SCHOOLS

The Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) is established in December, which added further regulatory requirements for schools and the Association.

On a State level, the new Education and Early Childhood Services Registration and Standards Board commences operation. There is considerable negotiation about the criteria to be used to determine the standards that schools would be required to meet for registration purposes. For the first time in South Australia’s history, government schools are to be subject to the same processes as non-government schools in regard to registration.
