 around the Cradle Mountain Village area.
 From easy exploration walks to day-long hikes up to lookouts,
 you’ll discover the Tasmanian wilderness up close on this unforgettable adventure.
 Best of all, you’ll raise funds to support ShelterBox Australia

Major reforms cut red tape for WA charities
This announcement is for: 
Major reforms are now in force which lift the red tape
 burden on WA charities, reducing their administration costs
 and resulting in more money being made available to charity recipients.
The changes to WA’s Charitable Collections Act simplify
 the application process and reporting requirements 
while removing duplication of compliance for charities.
Charity licences do not have an expiry date now,
 so they don’t have to be renewed every three years 
as was required previously. 
However, the continuous licences are issued on the condition 
that the charity complies with annual reporting and other obligations.
An updated memorandum of understanding between 
Consumer Protection and the federal
 Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC)
 streamlines and reduces the regulatory burden on
 WA charities while allowing greater sharing 
of information and harmonisation between the two agencies.
From the 2020 financial year, most WA charities
 that are registered with the ACNC
 no longer need to submit annual financial statements 
to both agencies as the ACNC now shares that 
information and, if annual revenue is under $250,000,
 the accounts do not need to be audited or reviewed.
To participate in this arrangement,
 eligible WA charities must provide their
 WA fundraising licence number when submitting 
their Annual Information Statement to the ACNC.
Commissioner for Consumer Protection Lanie Chopping
 said the red tape reductions have been warmly welcomed 
by the sector but those in need of assistance will benefit the most.


“The less charities spend on compliance and administration costs,
 the more funds will be available for the charitable purpose,”
 Ms Chopping said.
“These reforms are a significant step forward
 in harmonising charity laws throughout Australia
 and reducing the regulatory burden on the sector
 which deals with federal and various state and licensing agencies.
“The changes in the law won’t change the high level
 of scrutiny of organisations that collect donations 
and we will continue to ensure that funds are used as donors intended,
 which is important for the confidence of the community 
as well as the reputation of the sector.”
ACNC Commissioner the Hon Dr Gary Johns
 said reducing unnecessary regulation for charities
 is one of our main objectives.
“We support harmonisation as it helps charities operate
 more effectively and makes it easier for them to comply with regulations. 
This new change is very welcome, and we continue
 to work towards minimising reporting duplication,” 
Dr Johns said.
More information about charity licensing is available
and enquiries can be made by email consumer@dmirs.wa.gov.au 
or by phone 1300 30 40 54.

Science Week this year is from August the 15th to the 23rd,
 centered around the theme marine life.
 We have decided to participate through the creation of two projects
 that will engage and celebrate marine life and draw attention
 to the issue of plastics in our oceans. 
These two projects are the shark sculpture project and the boat making project.
The shark sculpture project is open to the community and is an opportunity
 for community groups to create a marine sculpture
 by re-purposing and recycling plastics. 
This will help to create positive impact and raise awareness
 of the large consumption of plastic waste. 
These sculptures will then be displayed during science week.
 The boat project is open to children ages 8-12 where they can
 use their STEM skills to make a functioning model boat, 
through a kit we will supply.
We encourage community groups and schools to get involved!!

RYLA & RYPEN

Preparation for both RYLA and RYPEN is underway despite the disruption caused by the COVID-19               pandemic, so we'd like to provide an update to all clubs on what our plans are.

An innovative Rotary group from Perth has been looking
 to beat Covid19 and assist in the recovery
 of Western Australia’s tourism industry. 
The development of our state can be attributed to the 
dedication and hard work of our pioneers. 
The group of Rotarians is now calling on our pioneers
 to help them re-build our state economy,
 following the ravages of the COVID-19 virus.
 Tourism has borne a considerable economic burden 
over the course of the past couple of months.

Last month, Premier, Mr McGowan provided 
some welcome news to the WA community announcing
 the local governments roadmap to easing 
COVID-19 restrictions within the state.
 Regional travel restrictions were lifted allowing 
intra-state travel to recommence. 
The Western Australian Government also announced
 a multi-million dollar, survival and recovery, package
 to help small businesses in the sector adapt
 to the post-COVID-19 landscape.

Meanwhile, instead of sitting back in lockdown,
 a group of innovators from the Rotary Club of Matilda Bay
 have funded and designed a pioneer adventure game 
to be played in our Western Australian backyard. 
Called the “Pioneer Challenge”,
 it is a fun pioneer heritage hunt with the aim of discovering 
the pioneers of our state. 
The game is a hybrid of a clue finding treasure hunt
 and a car rally that encourages people to explore
 our regional country towns. 

Once registered, players will be issued with three surprise 
Pioneer towns along trip of their choice 
along Route 120, (Southern Highway).
 Within these Pioneer towns, players need to find
 three given pioneer graves at the local cemetery 
and historical clues within the township.  
The game is played on the player’s phone 
and involves uploading various photos of graves and towns,
 and solving clues on the pioneer challenge web site.

A long wait to return home finally came to an end on Tuesday for ROMAC patient,
 12-year-old Germaine when she boarded a plane bound for the Solomon Islands.
 Germaine underwent successful heart surgery at Sydney’s Westmead Children’s Hospital
 in March but was forced to remain in Australia because of border closures due to COVID-19.
 ROMAC Director of Alumni and Patient Evaluation, PDG Bob Richards,
 was thrilled to be able to farewell a happy and healthy young woman 
after her extended stay in Australia.

Stuart Stone introduced our guest speaker Suresh Rajan,
 President of the Ethnic Communities Council
 to speak on multiculturalism and racism.
 Suresh is also an Ambassador for people with disabilities
 and is the former President of the National Ethnic Disabilities Alliance.
The presentation covered topics such as “Assimilation”, “Inclusive Multiculturalism”
 (as defined by the Hawke & Keating governments) 
and “Australian Multiculturalism” (as defined by the Howard & Costello governments).
It was noted that 52% of Western Australians
 have one or both parents born overseas. 
 We have over 270 migrant languages and 70 Aboriginal languages spoken here.
The complexities of this topic were revealed by discussions
 on migration (skilled persons, persons with disabilities), 
religion, anti-discrimination legislation, hate groups within WA
 and death threats to politicians and to Suresh. 
Other subjects are aspects of Sharia Law, taxpayer burdens,
 rights of women, religious vilification and racial vilification.
Suresh was an entertaining and engaging speaker,
 who gave us a fresh perspective on the concept of multiculturalism,
 which he has lived and breathed for many years.
After an interesting round of questions from the audience,
 Stuart led the meeting to thank Suresh for his presentation
