Some questions we hear a lot...
Public Benevolent Institutions (PBI) are a type of charitable institution whose main purpose is to relieve poverty or distress.
PBIs are recognised by the Australian Charities and Non-for-profit Commission (ACNC) and the Australian Taxation Office as a subtype of charity.
Most NT-based PBI organisations are operating in sectors such as remote and aboriginal health, welfare and social services, emergency relief, community care services etc.
