Governance

The SGSWA is:
  • An 'other unincorporated entity' - a number of people grouped together by a common purpose with club-like characteristics - known as the 'Sydney Grammar School Women’s Association'
  • Registered as a Charity with the Australian Charities and Non Profit Commission ('ACNC') and has been since 3 December 2012
  • Required to meet the regulations of the ACNC and provide an Annual Information Report
  • A not-for-profit organisation, allowing it to make profit that must be used in the operation of the organisation or to carry out its purpose
  • Enabled by Committee Members, who are responsible persons as defined by the ACNC and whose roles are registered with the ACNC ​
  • Governed by its Constitution.

Our Financial Year is 1 October to 30 September. SGSWA 
  • Is registered for GST and has been since 1 July 2000
  • Received an Income Tax Exemption from 1 July 2000
  • Received a GST Concession from 1 July 2005
  • Received a GST exemption for Events and the Weigall Canteen from 1 October 2017, noting that the Grammar Shop is required to collect and pay GST

The Grammar Shop is the primary source of SGWSA income. Other, lesser sources of income may include:
  • Second-hand book sale
