Charities & Causes in Australia

Registered Australian charities appear on the public ACNC Charity Register, which records a charity's status, purpose, and reporting. Our Mate cross-checks charity listings against that register so you can confirm a charity is genuine before donating or volunteering.

Not always. ACNC registration confirms a charity's status as a charity. Whether donations are tax deductible depends on separate endorsement as a deductible gift recipient (DGR), which is administered by the Australian Taxation Office. Check the charity's DGR status before assuming a donation is deductible.

Many aged care providers, disability support organisations, neighbourhood houses, and community programs are run by registered charities. Listing charities alongside care and community services makes it easier to find the organisations delivering support in a local area.
