Charitable Collections Amendment Bill 2025

Uniform Legislation and Statutes Review Committee· 12 August 2025general_report

The WA parliamentary committee reviewed the Charitable Collections Amendment Bill 2025, which aims to implement a national scheme for charitable collections licensing and address inconsistencies in WA regulations. The committee found that the Bill's commencement provision impacts upon the WA Parliament’s sovereignty and law-making powers. The committee recommends the Legislative Council consider this during debate.

Impact

Charities operating in WA, particularly those registered with the ACNC, will be affected by changes to licensing and regulatory requirements. The Commissioner for Consumer Protection will have increased powers. The WA Parliament's sovereignty is potentially impacted.
