Who can make political donations?

Only certain individuals and entities are eligible to make political donations in New South Wales:

• an individual enrolled to vote at federal elections or in New South Wales for State or Local Government elections, or

• an entity with a business number recognised by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (e.g. ABN or ACN), or

• an individual or entity who has supplied to the NSW Electoral Commission identification that is acceptable to the NSW Electoral Commission.

Individuals or entities seeking approval of acceptable identification in order to make political donations must complete and submit the Application for approval of acceptable identification by a potential political donor (EF.708) with a copy of their identification.
