Charities
Any organisation or club collecting money or goods from the public for charitable purposes, needs to be licensed under the Charitable Collections Act. There is no fee required for a licence, however each of the Principal Executive Officers must provide a NATIONAL POLICE CLEARANCE.
To apply for a licence, the organisation needs to lodge an application through the Charitable Collections Advisory Committee. This Committee consists of five independent members appointed by the Governor. The Committee meet on a monthly basis to consider new applications and make recommendations to the Department's Minister in regards to all charity licensing matters.
