About Us
The Charity Law Association of Australia and New Zealand’s (CLAANZ’s) purposes are to advance the education of its members and the public in charity law and to improve the administration of charities by contributing to the development of reform and improvement of charity law. CLAANZ was originally established as the Australian Charity Law Association in 2009 in response to the emerging need for quality, accountable, charity-related legal services in Australia. The Association changed its name on 27 August 2015 to better reflect the engagement, since our establishment, of Australian and New Zealand colleagues in addressing legal issues in the charity and NFP sector in both countries. The Association is registered as a charity with the Australian Charity and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC). See our current Board members.
