ABOL- Australian Business Online

What is the ‘Guide To Australia’s Not-For-Profit Organisations’?
Pathways Australia has developed a unique method of bringing Not-For-Profit organisations and potential supporters together.
The Guide enables Not-For-Profit organisations to register their contact details, information about their services, where they are located, finances and what kind of support they need. The information is then made available to as many existing and potential supporters as possible, and this is what makes us unique!
Our aim is twofold. Firstly, to provide a very easy, but highly effective way for Not-For-Profit organisations to make themselves, their services and support needs known to tens of thousands of existing and potential supporters. Secondly, to provide individuals, companies, charitable trusts and other support groups with a ‘menu’ of Not-for-Profit organisations from which they can select those they wish to support.


How do I get my organisation listed in the Guide?
Your organisation is automatically listed in the ‘Guide to Australia’s Not-For-Profit Organisations’ when you become a member. Applying for membership is easy! Click here for more information.


Multilateral Organisations – Australia commits over 25 per cent of the aid program to multilateral organisations like the United Nations, World Bank or Asian Development Bank. Multilateral organisations extend the reach of Australia’s aid program as their large size enables them to undertake projects on a scale that would not be possible for donors such as Australia.
They have the capacity and international standing to help coordinate donor efforts in support of particular countries, for example East Timor and have a neutrality which allows greater scope for dialogue with recipient countries. In some cases they have a clear mandate to address global or regional problems in areas that need the concerted efforts of the international community such as environment and health.
Multilateral organisations are also able to coordinate donor resources to address major humanitarian and reconstruction needs, especially for countries emerging from conflict. Multilateral organisations get funding from various sources, including contributions from donor countries like Australia.


Government cancer agencies, departments and organisations – The Department of Health and Ageing administers many of the Australian Government’s cancer control activities including programs aimed at improving cancer prevention and early detection, such as the BreastScreen Australia, National Cervical Screening and National Bowel Cancer Screening programs.  The Cancer Control section provides advice to the Minister for Health and Ageing about cancer control policy.


South Australian Heritage Council – The South Australian Heritage Council provides strategic advice to the Minister for Environment and Conservation on heritage issues. It also administers the South Australian Heritage Register, including the entry and removal of State Heritage Places.
