The Public Interest Law Clearing House (PILCH) provides assistance to not-for-profit organisations and has recently established a specialist service, PilchConnect, to provide free or low cost legal information, advice and training. PilchConnect arranges pro bono referrals for public interest not-for-profit organisations. In addition, PilchConnect has a seminar and workshop series on issues such as governance, legal issues for volunteers, tax and fundraising. PilchConnect hosts a comprehensive web portal designed to assist not-for-profits to understand common legal issues affecting their organisations. The portal at www.pilchconnect.org.au provides legal resources for not-for-profits, including plain English resources such as fact sheets and checklists. PilchConnect also engages in policy and law reform work for the not-for-profit sector and is piloting a telephone advice service in the second half of 2009.
