Are you a lawyer?
Published by Matthew Landauer | Filed under Announcement
Are you a lawyer? Can you offer us advice about setting up a legal entity and charitable tax status for OpenAustralia?
Setting up a charity under the correct legal status is a complicated business in Australia. We need help. We’re not lawyers ourselves and we want to do this right. OpenAustralia is strictly a non-partisan information service and is no shape or form political but we want to make sure that we dot our i’s and cross our t’s when it comes to our legal status.
So far we’ve contacted the Public Interest Law Clearing House (PILCH) NSW and a lawyer from Freehills but have received no concrete reply.
So, if you’re a lawyer or you know a lawyer that could help us and has experience in this area please point them at this blog post or contact us.

PILCH NSW have reviewed their decision and are now going to help. Hurrah!
