Principal Activities

Uplifting Australia aims to prevent the emotional abuse of children. We achieve this through implementing a prevention model. Our model educates families and teachers, through our evidence based programs and resources, that take a strengths based approach. Uplifting Australia, actively promotes healthy emotional environments and practices in families. Our work has a direct impact on the wellbeing of children.

We deliver this through our programs, which include a parent education component, that focuses on strategies that strengthen the emotional environment for children, and through the core resources (Parents Film & Parenting Strategies eBook) which includes parenting strategies to strengthen emotional environments for children, and includes a self assessment tool, that draws the attention to damaging behaviours that are emotionally abusive, and have a negative impact on their children's self esteem and social competence. In addition to this, our eBook is available to the general public via our website.

There have been no significant changes in the nature of these activities during the year.

Notes to the Financial StatementsUplifting AustraliaFor the year ended 30 June 2019

1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies and Compliance

Uplifting Australia is a public company limited by member guarantee, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

Basis of Preparation

The directors have prepared the financial statements on the basis that the company is a non-reporting entity because there areno users dependant on general purpose financial statements. The financial statements are therefore special purpose financialstatements that have been prepared in order to meet the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

Thecompany is a not for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes underAustralian Accounting Standards.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the mandatory Australian Accounting Standards applicable toentities reporting under the Corporations Act 2001 and the significant accounting policies disclosed below,which the directorshave determined are appropriate to meet the needs of members.Such accounting policies are consistent with the previousperiod unless stated otherwise.

Thefinancial statements, except for cash flow information, have been prepared onan accruals basis and are based on historicalcosts unless otherwise stated inthe notes. The material accounting policies that have been adopted in thepreparation of thestatements are as follows:

Revenue and Other Income

Revenue comprises revenue from the sale of goods, government grants, fundraising activities and client contributions.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade discountsand volume rebates allowed. For this purpose, deferred consideration is not discounted to present values when recognisingrevenue.

Revenue is recognised when the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, collection is probable, the costsincurred or to beincurred can be measured reliably

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax.

Details of the activity-specific recognition criteria are described below.

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods comprises revenue earned from the sale of goods donated and purchased forresale. Salesrevenue is recognised when the control of goods passes to the customer.

Notes to the Financial Statements

These notes should be read in conjunction with the attached Independent Auditor's Report.

Annual Reports Uplifting Australia Page 1 of

Government grants 

Grant income is recognised when the entity obtains control over the funds, which is generally at the time of receipt.

If conditions are attached to the grant that must be satisfied before the association is eligible to receive the contribution,recognition of the grant as revenue will be deferred until those conditions are satisfied.

Where a grant is received on the condition that specified services are delivered to the grantor, this is considered a reciprocaltransaction. Revenue is recognised as services are performed and at year end a liability is recognised until the service isdelivered. 

Revenue from a non-reciprocal grant that is not subject to conditions is recognised when the association obtains control of thefunds, economic benefits are probable and the amount can be measured reliably. Where a grant may be required to be repaid ifcertain conditions are not satisfied, a liability is recognised at year end to the extent that conditions remain unsatisfied. 

Where the association receives a non-reciprocal contribution of an asset from a government or other party for no or nornominalconsideration, the asset is recognised at fair value and a corresponding amount of revenue isrecognised. 

Client contributions 

Fees charged for care or services provided to clients are recognised when the service is provided. 

Donations and bequests 

Donations collected, including cash and goods for resale, are recognised as revenue when the association gains control,economic benefits are probable and the amount of the donation can be measured reliably, which is generally at the time ofreceipt..

Bequests are recognised when the legacy is received. Revenue from legacies comprising bequests of shares or other propertyare recognised at fair value, being the market value of the shares or property at the date theGroup becomes legally entitled tothe shares or property. 

Interest and dividend income 

Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis using the effective interest method. Dividend income are recognised at thetime the right to receive payment is established. 

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses are recognised in profit or loss upon utilisation of the service or at the date of their origin.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Buildings, plant and other equipment (comprising fittings and furniture) are initially recognised at acquisition cost ormanufacturing cost, including any costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to the location and condition necessary for itto be capable of operating in the manner intended by the association. 

Buildings, plant and other equipment are subsequently measured using the cost model, cost less subsequent depreciation andimpairment losses.

The depreciable amount of all property, plant & equipment is depreciated over the useful lives of the assets to the associationcommencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

Material residual value estimates and estimates of useful life are updated as required, but at least annually. 

Gains or losses arising on the disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined as the differencebetween the disposalproceeds and the carrying amount of the assets and are recognised in profit or loss withinother income or other expenses. 

Leasehold improvements are amortised over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful livesof the improvements.

Notes to the Financial Statements

These notes should be read in conjunction with the attached Independent Auditor's Report.

Annual Reports Uplifting Australia Page 1 of

Impairment of Assets

At the end of each reporting period, the committee reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets todetermine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, an impairment testis carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less coststo sell and value in use, to the asset’s carrying amount. Any excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its recoverable amount isrecognised in the income and expenditure statement. 

Financial Assets and Liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the association becomes a party to the contractualprovisions of thefinancial instrument, and are initially recognised at cost, which includes transaction costs,except for those carried at fair valuethrough profit or loss, which are measured initially at fair value. Investments in financial assets are subsequently measured atfair value, which is equivalent to their market bid price at the end of the reporting period. Movements in fair value arerecognised through an equity reserve. 

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire,or when thefinancial asset and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability isderecognised when it is extinguished,discharged, cancelled or expires. 

Income Tax

No provision for income tax has been raised as the association is exempt from income tax under Div 50 of the IncomeTaxAssessment Act 1997.

Cash on Hand

Cash on hand includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments withoriginal maturities of three months or less. 

Employee Entitlements

Provision is made for the association’s liability for employee entitlements arising from services rendered by employees to theend of the reporting period. Employee entitlements have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilityis settled. 

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the association has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it isprobable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. Provisions are measured atthe best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period. 

Accounts Receivable and Other Debtors

Accounts receivable and other debtors include amounts due from members as well as amounts receivable from donors.Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. Allother receivables are classified as non-current assets. 

Accounts Payable and Other Payables

Accounts payable and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods andservices received by the association during the reporting period that remain unpaid. The balance is recognised as a currentliability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.
