Legal Responsibilities of Voluntary Organisations in New Zealand

About this website

Keeping It Legal E Ai Ki Te Ture has been designed as a starting point for people in voluntary and not-for-profit organisations who want to know about the laws that may affect them. It can be used as a tool in developing risk management strategies.

The Check section contains checklists of questions you can use to help you identify the information you need to know.

In the Learn more section, you can find information about requirements and responsibilities, divided into eighteen topics. There is also a printable fact sheet you can download for each one of these topics. This diagram shows the scope of content in this section, and how the law affects your organisation (just click it to enlarge it):

Finally, the Take action section allows you to create Action Plans, which record the tasks that need to be done, who needs to do them, and by when.

Keeping It Legal E Ai Ki Te Ture is jointly produced by The Office for the Community and Voluntary Sector (the OCVS) and the New Zealand Federation of Voluntary Welfare Organisations (the Federation).
