Can I collect cash donations?

Please reach out to us if you would like our details to make a direct deposit to Lifeline.
Alternatively you can bank the money into your account and make a lump-sum donation to your fundraising page.
Please ensure you keep a clear record of all donations.
Are donations tax-deductible?
Yes, all donations of $2 or more are tax-deductible, and donors will receive a receipt automatically via email when they donate online.
Please note that the Australian Taxation Office have ruled that donations are not tax-deductible if a person receives goods or services in return for the money given (i.e. the purchase of any services or items, raffle / action / competition tickets or event entry tickets etc.)
