It's not sexy. For lots of volunteer committees it can feel like a burden. For many starting out in the world of volunteer governance it can be quite frightening and overwhelming. But good governance is so important to ensure the sustainable future of our toy libraries. It has been super exciting to see all the toy libraries who have pulled on their big kid pants and sorted out their ACNC registration, the passion of our toy library community should never be underestimated. I am super proud to work for a peak body who provides practical support to enable volunteers to develop their understanding and mastery of good governance. If we want to bring more good people into the board rooms of Australia maybe we should all be looking to invest more in the good people who are already delivering on good governance right now in volunteer roles right across the country?

Good governance is key to helping toy libraries thrive. We're excited to share that over 85 toy libraries are now registered as charities, thanks to our work with the ACNC. This means they’re better equipped to serve their communities, attract support, and continue bringing joy to families. Strong governance isn’t just about rules—it’s about making a bigger impact together. A special thank you to our Victoria Member Development Officer, Erin Krusic-Golub, for her incredible work in guiding the latest round of registrations.
