Why join a not-for-profit?

So you’ve taken the first step and started thinking about joining the not-for-profit industry. Aside from the wonderful benefits of having passion and purpose every day, let’s talk about the unique offering that only applies to the not-for-profit industry.

Salary Packaging!

The Australian government provides not-for-profit organisations with generous tax concessions to attract and retain a valuable workforce.

Organisations included in this generous entitlement are:

  • Public Benevolent Institutions
  • Health Promotion Charities
  • Public Hospitals and Ambulance Services

One of the concessions for these organisations is exemption from Fringe Benefits Tax up to the following capped thresholds;

  • Public Benevolent Institutions and Health Promotion Charities ($30,000 grossed up)
  • Public Hospitals and Ambulance Services ($17,000 grossed up)

What does this mean to you when applying for a role in the not-for-profit industry?

It simply means that a portion of your annual gross salary can be salary sacrificed to reduce your overall taxable amount and increase your take-home pay.
