Community Fundraising Terms & Conditions

Community Fundraising Terms & Conditions

Our organisation is required to meet various legal obligations that apply to fundraising in the community. Catherine House has been granted a Section 6 and Section 7 Licence by the Office of the Liquor and Gaming Commissioner to collect money or goods, or conduct entertainment to which any charge for admission is made for charitable purposes under the Collection for Charitable Purposes Act 1939 (SA).
