Who Benefits The Most From Australian Charities?

Is your charity’s size dictating your legal risk?

New data from the ACNC suggests a fascinating link between a charity’s scale and its primary beneficiaries—a link with profound governance and compliance implications.

The just-released ACNC Australian Charities Report, 11th Edition (2025) reveals a stable landscape for beneficiary groups, with adults (25-65) at 8.1% and youth (15-25) at 7.9%.

But the most strategic insight lies deeper:

  • Smaller charities most commonly serve adults.
  • Larger charities most commonly serve youth.

A one-size-fits-all approach to compliance is no longer enough. Your legal obligations must evolve with your mission and the people you serve. Misalignment can expose your organisation to significant risk and undermine the very trust you’ve worked so hard to build.

At Birchgrove Legal, we specialise in helping Not-for-Profits navigate this complex legal landscape. We ensure your policies, service agreements, and safeguarding practices are not only compliant but are robustly tailored to your specific beneficiaries.
