Promoting Freedom and Community: Civil Society Organisations in Australia
IPA BACKGROUNDER
Australian society is best served by a strong, diverse and vibrant civil society. Individual voluntary participation in civil society organisations, whether through giving or volunteering, increases individual and collective freedom.
The large direct and indirect resources provided by government through a combination of grants, tax concessions and exemptions to Civil Society Organisations require accountability commensurate with the disbursement of government and public resources.
