I’m setting up a not-for-profit organisation. What’s the best structure to use?

We are commonly asked what’s the best structure to use when setting up a new charity or other ‘not-for-profit’ (NFP) organisation. While incorporated associations and public companies limited by guarantee are often suitable, they are not the only options, and there is no easy ‘one size fits all’ answer.
Do you need to pay stamp duty on a trust deed in New South Wales (NSW)?

Do you need to stamp a trust deed in South Australia (SA)?

No. It is no longer necessary to stamp a trust deed in South Australia.
