Contact

Authorised fundraisers in NSW must deal with complaints from members of the public or disputes with employees about fundraising activities. To resolve a dispute with a fundraiser, your first step should be to approach the fundraiser directly. 

To submit a complaint or enquiry about charitable fundraising, contact NSW Fair Trading.
