Valuing the not-for-profit sector: comments on the National Compact Consultation paper

In this submission, the Public Interest Advocacy Centre (PIAC) comments on the gaps in the draft National Compact principles, governance arrangements and priority areas for further action. The recommendations made in this submission are based primarily on the experience in NSW where research, in which PIAC was a partner, indicates that anticipated benefits of the Working Together for NSW compact have not been realised. A successful implementation of the compact requires government to address key issues such as funding and respect for the independence of the non-government sector, strong governance structures and the allocation of resources to fully implement the commitments set out in the document.
