| Incorporation: An explanation of the Associations Incorporation Act 2009 |
 (Fully revised 7th edition, 2012)
Incorporation is designed to help community groups that wish to understand more about the Associations Incorporation Act 2009. This Act was designed to provide community groups with a simple and inexpensive form of incorporation. Although incorporation is not compulsory, it is an option which community groups should know about. The book is intended to be of assistance to those who wish to make an informed decision on whether or not to incorporate, and to successfully register and run an incorporated association. The book also contains information aimed at helping people who were familiar with the old Act and want to know what has changed with the introduction of the new Act. The publication of this book was assisted by a grant from NSW Fair Trading.

Sharing Financial Administration: A Feasibility Study of Potential Models for Small Non-Government Organisations
|
|
 While
it is widely recognised that small NGOs excel at delivering services to
communities, many such organisations struggle with their back office
functions and particularly the financial administration and financial
management aspects of supporting the delivery of their core services.
For
this reason Matrix on Board and Zurich Insurance have partnered to
undertake research examining the feasibility of small NGOs sharing
their financial administration and financial management functions.
Potential
models, with the aim of finding means to ensure these functions are
fulfilled in a way that maximises efficiency and allows small NGOs to
focus on service delivery, have been developed and are detailed in this
publication

| Shifting Ground: Competition and tendering in community services |
|
 In
the second half of the 1990's, micro economic reforms are reshaping
most of our public and social services. They are finding their way into
human services via the introduction of a competitive contracting
funding regime. Community organisations cannot avoid the impact of
these reforms.
It has been evident for some time that community
organisations require assistance in dealing with the impact of
microeconomic reform in general and the application of competition
policy in particular. Shifting Ground will assist community organisations to:
- negotiate the process of change;
- contribute meaningfully to the development policy and to the design and management of programs and services
- formulate tenders and enter contracts.
