The Australian nonprofit sector faces mounting challenges. Rising service demand, stagnant government funding, and increased regulatory scrutiny put pressure on third-sector leaders to stay mission-focused while adapting to change. To secure sustainable funding and influence policy, sector leaders must actively engage with government, corporates, and philanthropy.
A 2024 Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) report found that over 60% of nonprofits struggle financially, while 80% face workforce issues such as burnout, skills shortages, and declining volunteer numbers. Meanwhile, digital transformation is reshaping donor engagement, service delivery, and compliance, yet only 35% of Australian nonprofits feel equipped to harness data and AI effectively.
The Third Sector Leaders Forum 2025 is designed to equip nonprofit leaders with the strategies, partnerships, and innovations needed to thrive in this evolving landscape. This forum is not just about discussing the challenges—it’s about equipping leaders with the tools to overcome them by providing practical solutions, policy insights, and a roadmap for sustainable impact.
