In this talk Professor Ian Murray will present on contemporary developments for the storied institution of the charitable trust and the new Charitable Trusts Act 2022 (WA) and reforms in England and Wales allowing for reform of charitable trusts (applying from March 2024). Attention will turn to whether we can expect the same changes in Australia and to the Productivity Commission’s review of philanthropy and implications for charitable trusts.
