Contribution of the Not-for-Profit Sector

Abstract

The Productivity Commission is requested to undertake a research study on the contributions of the not for profit sector with a focus on improving the measurement of its contributions and on removing obstacles to maximising its contributions to society. In undertaking the study, the Commission is to: • assess the extent to which the not for profit sector’s contributions to Australian society are currently measured, the utility of such measurements and the possible uses of such measurements in helping shape government policy and programs; • consider alternatives for, or improvements in, such measurements or further quantitative and/or qualitative means of capturing the not for profit sector’s full contribution to society; IV TERMS OF REFERENCE
