![]() "Coming in at number one and two are Southern Cross Care and Anglicare SA. "We’ve developed a ranking of the state’s top 50 nonprofits by turnover. "We could have sliced this pie in many ways, but our focus on community services is a deliberate attempt to home in on a sector that’s geared towards producing social impact, but which is nonetheless an important part of our economic story," says Goodwin-Smith. However, we intend to fill this gap by ranking the social impact of Australian nonprofit organisations from 2023. ![]() None of these impacts were calculated in any of the measures above. ![]() The nonprofit sector also created significant other social impacts through its intervention in the negative social, economic and personal costs of a broad range of social issues, improving the lives of South Australians while boosting the economy and producing savings for the public purse. In addition to 54,728 paid full-time staff, the SA nonprofit sector had 157,597 regular volunteers in 2021 who made significant contributions to SA. This places the nonprofit sector as the ninth most remunerative among all 20 sectors. The average salary per employee is $93,121.4 in the sector. In 2021, the total wages and salaries paid in the nonprofit sector accounted for 9.1% of the total wages & salaries in SA. The number of jobs in the nonprofit sector was slightly smaller than that in the construction sector, but larger than those in 14 other sectors. It is a significantly bigger employer than any primary industry sector. The nonprofit sector in South Australia is the sixth largest employing sector. The nonprofit sector punches above its weight on employment, accounting for 7.37% of total jobs in SA. “3.8% may sound not significant, but if compared with the contributions of other sectors to the economic output of SA, the economic impact of the nonprofit sector is substantial,” says Ian Goodwin-Smith, the Matthew Flinders Professor of Social Impact and Director of the Centre for Social Impact at Flinders University.Īcross all economic output-generating sectors, the nonprofit sector is only slightly smaller than the retail trade sector ($9.3 billion), but larger than eight other sectors including “electricity, gas, water & waste services”, “education & training”, “wholesale trade”, “information media & telecommunications”, “accommodation & food services”, “other services”, and “arts & recreation services”. In other words, the nonprofit sector accounts for 3.8% of the economic output of SA. The total gross income generated in the SA nonprofit sector was $9.3 billion. In 2021, the annual economic output of SA was $245.9 billion. The following analysis is of the whole sector – not just the 50 top non-profits (scroll down to see the full table). According to the proportion of SA nonprofits in Australia’s nonprofit sector, among these unidentified 7000 nonprofits around 500 nonprofits should be classified as SA nonprofits. It is therefore difficult to determine which state these nonprofits belong to. In the ACNC data, about 7000 nonprofits did not either indicate which state they were located or provide their business address. The sectorĪt the end of 2021, there were at least 3278 charities and nonprofit organisations in South Australia registered with the ACNC. (Scroll to the bottom for more detail on our methodology). That’s not to say that these organisations aren’t providing excellent services and value to the community – many of them are – but our focus is on social services for this exercise. For the purpose of this study we’ve also excluded organisations that are primarily focused on research, religious activities and education services which are irrelevant to social services. We have excluded the universities and private schools, along with the publicly-funded primary health care networks. Our focus is on community services – primarily aged care, community services, community housing and the disability services sector – using data from the Australian Charity and Nonprofit Commission register.
