Charities

Jackson McDonald has a strong reputation in the Western Australian community for its representation of charities and not-for-profits (NFPs) across a comprehensive range of sectors, but is particularly well known for supporting indigenous organisations. The firm is also active in areas such as the health and aged care, sports and religious sectors, handling the structuring and establishment of charitable entities, and the formation of their constitutions, as well as governance, fund-raising and taxation issues. The team interacts regularly with the Australian Taxation Office and the ACNC and also acts extensively for government agencies, funders and individual philanthropists. The practice's notable clients include The National Trust of Australia (WA), Western Australian Cricket Association and ChitAmbara.

"I always receive prompt responses to queries and requests for assistance, and it's always of excellent quality."

"They seem excellent. There were lots of moving parts, and they are very good at not forgetting those parts and pointing out how the decision on one aspect will affect the other aspects."

Jackson McDonald advised St John Ambulance Western Australia on the renegotiation of its emergency ambulance services contract with the Western Australia government following the parliamentary inquiry into the emergency ambulance service in the state.

Elizabeth Tylich heads the practice, taking leading roles on mandates across the charities and NFP sector. "Her advice is clear and easy to understand, and she has always been able to assist."
