Research Report - Establishment of Not-For-Profit Legal Service
May 2007
With funding from the Victoria Law Foundation and the Transport Accident Commission we have conducted research into the need for a specialist not-for-profit (NFP) legal service. This project is part of PILCH's 2006-2009 Strategic Plan and, in terms of its 2007 Implementation Plan, is one of its top priorities.
Outline of Report This Report recommends the establishment of a specialist legal service for NFP organisations under the PILCH umbrella. It reviews existing PILCH services; provides information on the sector and the complex regulatory environment in which NFPs operate; looks at the need for new services and documents feedback from NFPs, members of PILCH and other stakeholders; considers current Victorian government reviews of the sector and other service models (Australian and overseas); proposes a new PILCH service delivery model; and looks at funding options.
