Publications and e-bulletin

PilchConnect aims to keep the community sector and public informed about relevant legal issues.  It does this through its e-bulletin, and various reports, papers and aticles.   

PilchConnect e-bulletin

PilchConnect is keen to keep interested NFPs up-to-date with legal issues that may affect them or the broader NFP sector. We now have a new e-bulletin format which will provide your organisation with regular updates, including:

  • details of upcoming, low-cost legal seminars PilchConnect is running for NFPs;
  • explanations of recent or proposed changes to the laws that affect Victorian NFPs (we cover State-based laws and relevant Federal laws);
  • information about policy, law reform or advocacy activities on issues relevant to NFPs and ways that your organisation can contribute or provide feedback; and
  • interesting legal cases relevant to NFPs.

If you would like to be added to the mailing list for the PilchConnect e-bulletin you can subscribe at www.pilch.org.au/subscribe (if you would like to unsubscribe you can do so at www.pilch.org.au/unsubscribe).

We also welcome your contributions to and feedback on the e-bulletin. Please email us at connect@pilch.org.au.
