Third Sector Leaders Forum 2026

The Australian nonprofit sector faces mounting challenges in 2026. Escalating financial constraints from inflation and donor fatigue, workforce burnout amid volunteer declines, surging service demands from climate events and economic hardship, plus governance gaps and digital lags, are pressuring third sector teams to become more resilient.
A 2025 ACNC Report reveals unprecedented pressures making it more critical than ever for leaders to secure solutions. 60%+ of small/mid charities battle funding sustainability as expenses outpace income, while critical services are having to turn people away amid cost of living crises.
The Third Sector Leaders Forum 2026 is mission-critical for nonprofit CEOs and executive leaders facing 2026’s execution challenges. It delivers peer-validated frameworks tackling the sector’s top priorities and provides C-suite leaders the practical tools and partnerships needed to turn sector pressures into sustainable impact. This is the room where solutions happen.
