community awareness and support universal access to mainstream grief and bereavement services;

To undertake research, program evaluation, public policy development and the production of evidence-based publications

and resources to enhance grief and bereavement knowledge and practice;

To maintain cooperative links with relevant state, national and international groups and organisations in relation to grief

and bereavement;

To promote, develop and monitor competence in bereavement practice; and

To collect and raise funds for the promotion of the preceding purposes and objectives of the ACGB.

To achieve these objectives, the Company has adopted the following strategies:

ACGB strives to attract and retain quality staff and volunteers who are committed to working with bereaved persons.

Staff and volunteers work in partnership with a range of community stakeholders who continue to support ACGB’s projects

and initiatives.

Staff and volunteers are committed to creating new programs while maintaining existing programs in support of the bereaved.

Notes to the financial statements

30 June 2024

Note 1. Material accounting policy information

11

The accounting policies that are material to the company are set out below. The accounting policies adopted are consistent

with those of the previous financial year, unless otherwise stated.

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

The company has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian

Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

Basis of preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards -

Simplified Disclosures issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB'), the Australian Charities and Not-for-

profits Commission Act 2012 and Victorian legislation the Fundraising Act 1998 and associated regulations and the

Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for not-for profit oriented entities.

Historical cost convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires

management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the company's accounting policies. The areas involving a

higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial

statements, are disclosed in note 2.

Revenue recognition

The company recognises revenue as follows:

Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company is expected to be entitled in

exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the company: identifies the

contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which takes

into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate

performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered;

and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the

customer of the goods or services promised.

Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such as discounts,

rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent events. Such estimates

are determined using either the 'expected value' or 'most likely amount' method. The measurement of variable consideration

is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a

significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The measurement constraint continues

until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Amounts received that are subject

to the constraining principle are recognised as a refund liability.

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the goods, which is

generally at the time of delivery.

Rendering of services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised over time as the services are rendered based on either a fixed

price or an hourly rate.

Interest

Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the

amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate,

which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the

net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Australian Centre for Grief and Bereavement

Notes to the financial statements

30 June 2024

Note 1. Material accounting policy information (continued)

12

Other revenue

Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

Income tax

As the company is a charitable institution in terms of subsection 50-5 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, as amended,

it is exempt from paying income tax.

Current and non-current classification

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.

An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the company's

normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the

reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for

at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the company's normal operating cycle; it is held

primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional

right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as

non-current.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly

liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and

which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective

interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30

days.

The company has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss

allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.

Inventories

Stock on hand is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises of purchase and delivery costs, net of

rebates and discounts received or receivable.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion

and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes

expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment

(excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows:

Office Furniture and Equipment

5-20%

Motor Vehicles

12.5%

Leasehold Improvements

14.3%

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets,

whichever is shorter.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the

company. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss.

Australian Centre for Grief and Bereavement

Notes to the financial statements

30 June 2024

Note 1. Material accounting policy information (continued)

13

Intangible assets

Software Development

Software development costs are capitalised when incurred. Where development costs have a finite life, they will be amortised

on a systematic basis to match to the future economic benefits and the useful life of the software. Where the development

costs have an infinite life the costs are tested for impairment on an annual basis.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying

amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount

exceeds its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the

present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or

cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to

form a cash-generating unit.

Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the company prior to the end of the financial year and

which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts

are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled

wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

Other long-term employee benefits

The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are

measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to

the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels,

experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at

the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the

estimated future cash outflows.

Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not

recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of

the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST

recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial

position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities

which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect

the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation

to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and

assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management

believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the

related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment

to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed

below.

14

Employee benefits provision

As discussed in note 1, the liability for employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date

are recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees

at the reporting date. In determining the present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through

promotion and inflation have been taken into account.
