Fundraising FAQs

Head to our Donation page and select whether you would like to donate once or monthly, then choose if you would like to make your donation by credit card or direct debit.  

When you donate to Royal Far West, you will be connecting Australia’s country children to a team of over 120 multidisciplinary clinicians providing psychology, paediatrics, psychiatry, speech pathology, occupational therapy, and other allied health services.

We work with families, educators, local health services and broader communities to ensure children with developmental, behavioural, or mental health issues can receive the screenings, assessments, diagnoses, services and support they need to thrive.

Take a look at our About Us page to find out more about what we do. 

Yes! All donations of two dollars ($2.00) or more are fully tax deductible. 

Due to the nature of charity donations, we are under no obligation to give refunds. We will refund in certain circumstances, such as where we have made an error in debiting, or where we believe the donor to be a vulnerable person.

As Royal Far West supporter, your donations will not be tied to one program or area of support. Your gift will be used wherever the need is greatest and will support a range of programs connecting country children to vital developmental and mental health services. We will keep you updated throughout the year with how your donations are being used and how they are creating a lasting impact for country children.

There are thousands of children in rural and remote Australian communities whose mental and developmental health needs are not being met. The demand for our services is growing constantly, so every dollar raised or donated is more important than ever. Unfortunately, we cannot direct individual donations to help a specific child, school, or community. The money you raise will go to the area of greatest need, whether it be for services delivered in community, virtually via Telecare or at our Centre for Country Kids in Manly. We will keep you updated regularly on the impact of your donations for country children.

All donations of $2.00 or more will be issued with a tax-deductible receipt. If you donate online, your receipt will automatically be emailed to you the same day – you may find it in your spam/junk folder.

Please call us on 1800 961 001 or email donorservices@royalfarwest.org.au. Please do not send any credit card details via email, we can send you a secure link to use to update your details. 

If you’re a monthly donor, we will send a consolidated receipt for the full financial year to you each July. We send out the tax receipts via email where possible, please check your junk email folder if you believe you should have received a receipt. If we do not have an email address for you, we will send you a hard copy in the post.

Please call us on 1800 961 001 or email donorservices@royalfarwest.org.au to make any changes to your monthly donations.
