Abstract
The Wolfenden Committee in the U.K. identified four sectors which provide "social care" - the statutory, the commercial, the informal, and the "voluntary". The preferred term for "voluntary" is "non-government". The Social Welfare Research Centre, in conjunction with SACOSS is conducting a study of NGWOs, comprising roughly 37,000 agencies in Australia. The studies have been testing some of the theory that's been developed overseas, especially the relationship between non-government organizations and government, which in many cases is a heavy sponsor of NGWOs.
