National Compact News: Become A Compact Partner!
Sign up to the National Compact: working together
National Compact Partners are organisations from the not-for-profit sector who have voluntarily signed up to show their support and commitment to the Compact’s shared vision, purpose and principles.
All Commonwealth government portfolios are signed up to the National Compact.
All organisations in the not-for-profit sector can show their support for building a better relationship between government and the sector by signing up to the National Compact. Sign up is free and voluntary. Increasing the number of organisations signed up as Compact Partners gives weight to the shared aspirations and principles of the Compact and can help drive the identified priorities for action.
