Answer

How do I reference something that has an organisation for an author in Harvard? Do I just use the acronym?

Where the author is an organisation, use the name of the organisation as the author (corporate author).  If the name of an authoring organisation, e.g. government agency, is long and cited often in the text, it may be necessary to abbreviate the name in the in-text citation.  The first time an acronym or abbreviated name is used, you must give the full name followed by the acronym in parenthesis.
