Receiving a subpoena isn’t just a formal request—it’s a serious legal obligation that can have significant consequences for not-for-profits and charities. Proper handling is crucial to ensure compliance while protecting your organisation’s sensitive information.

What are the correct steps for responding to a subpoena, and how can your organisation safeguard its interests?

Charities can no longer assume that all benevolent activities automatically qualify for Public Benevolent Institution (PBI) status. The ACNC now requires a clear and adequate connection between your charity’s activities and its relief aims — mere logical links aren’t enough.

Are your activities directly supporting your benevolent purpose, or could your PBI status be at risk?

For Australian not-for-profits, ensuring robust privacy and data breach practices is both a regulatory requirement and a key aspect of risk management and organisational integrity. Recent amendments to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) have expanded civil penalties and introduced direct rights of action for serious invasions of privacy.

Not-for-profits must implement comprehensive data breach response plans, manage third-party vendors effectively, and ensure directors are aware of personal liability risks. Proper privacy governance not only ensures compliance but also protects reputation, donor trust, and operational continuity.

CHARITY & DEFAMATION — WHAT NOT‑FOR‑PROFITS NEED TO KNOW

Under New South Wales defamation law, not‑for‑profit organisations such as registered charities may have the right to sue for defamatory material only if they qualify as an “excluded corporation” because their objects are not to make financial gain for members — otherwise they may not have standing to bring a claim.

This means charities must carefully assess their corporate status and the nature of any alleged defamatory publication before pursuing legal action, as the ability to protect reputation through the courts is not automatic for all organisations.

Defamation claims also generally require proof of serious harm to reputation — making early legal advice vital for charities facing harmful publications in today’s digital environment.
