3.7.2. ACNC Fundraising Reporting

ACNC Annual reporting

From the 2022 Annual Information Statement, charities can take part in a new streamlined reporting arrangement.

Registered charities that are authorised to fundraise in Queensland can report directly via the ACNC’s Annual Information Statement. They will not be required to submit a separate annual return to the Office of Fair Trading.

To take part in this arrangement, charities must provide their fundraising registration number (issued by the Office of Fair Trading) when completing their Annual Information Statement. Medium and large charities should ensure that the financial reports they provide to the ACNC meet all ACNC reporting requirements.

Charities that form part of an ACNC approved reporting group and charities that have the Annual Information Statement withheld from the Charity Register will not be able to take part in these arrangements.

Charities that fundraise in Queensland may also be required to meet ongoing obligations to the OFT.

For details about the process of obtaining authorisation to fundraise in Queensland, and the obligations of fundraisers (including any other exemptions that may apply), visit the OFT website.
