Volunteers are key to enabling us to achieve our goals. They are the backbone of our organisation. Without them, much of the work we do would not be possible. Volunteer now by sending us your C.V. and a letter detailing the areas of your expertise and how you could assist us.
We are constantly applying for grants from Trusts, Foundations and the government. We would welcome inquiries from any grant maker or government agency to discuss possible opportunities. We are renowned for maximizing benefits to the community from all the money we receive.
Workplace Giving is a payroll contribution scheme where direct pre-tax donations from registered employees go towards assisting us continue our work in the community. A Workplace Giving Program is a very effective way for employees to help Childrens Charity Network.
How it works …
Donations are deducted each pay period direct from your gross salary, by arrangement with your employer’s payroll departments. All you need to do is decide on the amount you would like to give. It’s that simple.
As your donation is made before tax it actually costs you less than the amount we received from your pay office
Donations per week
$5.00
$10.00
$20.00
Donations per Year to Charity
$250.oo
$520.00
$1040.00
Actual cost to You
$146.64
$293.80
$587.60
This table is based on a marginal tax rate of 42% for taxable income of $50,001 to $60,000 and a Medicare levy of 1.5%. Because your donations are processed through your pay you receive an immediate, guaranteed tax deduction – you do not have to collect, keep and claim receipt.
How to Register …
- Download and complete the registration form and send it to your payroll office.
- Instruct your payroll department to deduct your nominated donation amount from your gross pre-tax salary each pay period.

Fundraising events are great fun:
They allow you to raise funds for the Childrens Charity Network or one of its initiatives whilst simultaneously engaging friends, family members, employees and customers and giving you self-satisfaction in the knowledge that you are helping a worthwhile cause.
You can organise a “Golf Day”, a “Tennis Day”, a “Family Day”, a “Gala Night”, etc.

In partnering with corporations and businesses, we seek to engage all partners in long-term, strategic and mutually beneficial relationships. We are focused on developing partnerships of involvement and commitment.

Seek Legal Advice
We strongly advise you to seek qualified legal advice and assistance when making or revising your Will. It is important to understand that someone may challenge your Will if it is not drawn up correctly.
If you do not have a legal advisor, the following independent organisations can help you. You are also welcome to talk to the Childrens Charity Network.

Be Specific in your Will
The most important thing to remember … is that your bequest must be properly detailed in your will – the legal document that every adult should have to protect the assets they have worked hard to accumulate. A Will is not the reserve of the wealthy or something to be postponed until old age.
Your Will allows you to specify how you want your assets distributed after your death, including gifts to your favourite charities. If you don’t have a Will, your assets will be distributed according to a pre-determined legal formula.
Many of us find it difficult to talk about our Will because it represents the time when we will no longer be with our family, friends and loved ones. But by making a Will, you will actually be helping your family and the people you care for. Your wishes will be clear and nothing will be left to chance. If you want your support for the Childrens Charity Network to continue beyond your own lifetime, your Will is the practical device through which this can be achieved.
