We're getting the message out to charities about this major development in fundraising red tape reduction. Every dollar saved from reducing the red tape burden is an extra dollar for those in our community who need it most. #charities #fixfundraising

Big part of why I took my new job @ACNC_gov_au @ACNCommissioner - the Charity Register can help people donate with more confidence. #earthquaketurkey #earthquakeinsyria horrific devastation and loss - worthy of donating to, just want to reduce $ to scammers
It was great to have the opportunity to speak to @brendanarrow @abcnews about this important issue. #scammers #ScamAlert #charities @ACNC_gov_au
