Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918

A donation disclosure notice given under section 303E in relation to a gift must set out the following details:

if the person or entity who made the gift (the donor) made the gift on behalf of the members of an unincorporated association, other than a registered industrial organisation:

the name of the association; and

the names and addresses of the members of the executive committee (however described) of the association;

if the donor is the trustee of a trust and the gift was purportedly made out of a trust fund or out of the funds of a foundation:

the names and addresses of the trustees of the fund or of the foundation; and

the title or other description of the trust fund, or the name of the foundation, as the case requires;

if the donor is not covered by paragraph (a) or (b)—the name and address of the donor;

the name of the person or entity (the recipient) to whom the donor made the gift;

the amount or value of the gift;

the date on which the gift was made;

if the gift was made during the election period for a by‑election or a Senate‑only election and was for the purposes of the by‑election or the Senate‑only election—the name of the Division or the State or Territory (as applicable) to which the election relates;

if the total amount or value of all gifts made by the donor to the recipient during the calendar year in which the gift is made is more than the disclosure threshold—the total amount or value of all gifts so far made by the donor to the recipient during the calendar year;

the relevant details set out in subsection (2) of this section of any other gift (an earlier gift) received by the donor at any time if:

the earlier gift was used wholly or partly to enable the donor to make the gift, or reimburse the donor for the gift, to which the donation disclosure notice relates; and

the amount or value of the earlier gift is more than the disclosure threshold.

A failure to include these details in a donation disclosure notice may contravene a civil penalty provision (see section 303E).

A donation disclosure notice may be amended after it has been given to the Electoral Commission (see section 319A).

For the purposes of paragraph (1)(i), the relevant details of the earlier gift are:

the amount or value of the earlier gift; and

the date on which the earlier gift was made; and

in the case of an earlier gift made on behalf of the members of an unincorporated association, other than a registered industrial organisation:

the name of the association; and

the names and addresses of the members of the executive committee (however described) of the association; and

in the case of an earlier gift purportedly made out of a trust fund or out of the funds of a foundation:

the names and addresses of the trustees of the fund or of the foundation; and

the title or other description of the trust fund, or the name of the foundation, as the case requires; and

if the person or entity who made the earlier gift is not covered by paragraph (c) or (d) of this subsection—the name and address of the person or entity.
