ACNC Register of Australian Charities

ACNC Register of Australian Charities

The Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) publishes its Register of Australian charities on data.gov.au as CSV and XLSX downloads, plus a separate PDF user-notes document. The dataset page says: "NOTE: This dataset is updated weekly. Please ensure that you use the most up-to-date version."

Coverage

Charity name, ABN, address, size and registration details from the ACNC Charity Register, as CSV/XLSX downloads (a separate PDF document covers user notes, not register data; separate ACNC Annual Information Statement datasets, not covered by this entry, record purposes and activities for each statement year). Charities can ask the ACNC to have some or all of their information withheld, in which case it no longer appears in this dataset. History start and update frequency: dataset "Created 20/02/2014"; the page confirms it is "updated weekly" (quoted above).

Verdict

Register of Australian charities' name, ABN, address, size and registration details, as CSV and XLSX downloads (plus a separate PDF user-notes document), published by the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission and updated weekly per the dataset page. Licensed Custom: the dataset page's Licence field reads "Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Australia"; Signal Lab records this as Custom because CC-BY-3.0-AU is not in its licence vocabulary. Not every Australian charity is necessarily listed, since a charity can have its information withheld from the register. Rate limits: Not applicable (downloads). Signal Lab links only.
