Advertise for objections |
|
|
Your organisation must advertise for objections before registering it as a charity.
You must publish the notice in:
- a Brisbane published newspaper that circulates throughout Queensland, and
- another newspaper that is published at least five days a week and circulates throughout the area where the organisation's registered address is situated.
The draft advertisement must include the:
- a statement the organisation has applied for registration as a charity
- the objection process, including:
-
- where to lodge objections e.g. to the Minister with a copy to the registered address or residential address of applicant
- closing date for objections, such as one month after the application is filed with or posted.
An example of a draft advertisement would be worded as follows:
"Application was lodged with the Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation, on <date of lodgement of application> for the registration of <name of organisation> as a charity under the provisions of the Collections Act 1966. Any objection to the said registration must be filed in the approved form with the Minister for Tourism and Fair Trading and a copy served on the secretary of <name of organisation> at <registered address or residential address of applicant> by <date 1 month after the application is filed with or posted to the Chief Executive>."
Any person affected by the registration can lodge an objection within one month of the advertisement. See objections to registration of a charity.
