From www.aicd.com.au: The Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission conducted a review of safeguarding practices within the NFP sector.

The review revealed that while charities understand their obligations, many do not document them effectively, leading to inconsistency in mitigating risks.

Recent cases against NFPs illustrate serious consequences of failing to meet safeguarding obligations, reinforcing the need for comprehensive policies and proactive oversight by governing bodies.
