Check a charity or association |
Searching the Queensland Charities and Associations Online Register will provide a quick indication about whether a charity is registered to fundraise in Queensland or if an association is incorporated in Queensland.
The free facility identifies organisations listed under the following Acts:
- Collections Act 1966
- Associations Incorporation Act 1981.
Note: Charities such as religious denominations, Parents and Citizens Associations and hospital foundations are not required to be registered to fundraise in Queensland. Community groups and individuals authorised by a registered charity to collect on its behalf will not appear on this register.
If you require more specific information about a charity or an incorporated association, such as a copy of its annual returns or an extract or certificate, call our Registration Services branch to request the documents. To check if a charity is endorsed as a deductible gift recipient, visit http://www.abr.business.gov.au/.
