Donations and Refunds

Aboriginal Tourism Western Australia Limited (ATWA) (ABN 54 654 825 975) is registered as a charity with the Australian Charities and Not for Profits Commission.

All pricing and transactions on this website are stated in Australian Dollars (AUD) and are secured using 128 Bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology.

By completing a donation you certify that: 1. you accept the Terms & Conditions and the Privacy Policy, 2. you understand you can cease communication, or access and change your personal information by contacting us via this web site.

We only use your information to process your donations and communicate with you about our charitable objectives.

Donations by individuals can be made in the form of one-off donations, regular gifts or bequests. ATWA will determine where the funds are directed within its services. If a donation is designated to a specific project, ATWA will use reasonable endeavours to direct that donation to the designated project but is not obligated to comply with such requests. Donations of gifts in kind will also be directed as determined by ATWA.

ATWA can provide official receipts for approved donations of $2.00 or more. Donors providing single gifts receive a receipt for each donation and regular gifts receive an annual receipt, unless otherwise requested. ATWA accepts anonymous donations but is unable to issue a tax-deductible receipt to the donor in such circumstances.

Online donations

This website is enabled for online donations using a secure donation server. However, despite the security on the website, you should be aware that there are risks in transferring information across the Internet.

We record on our fundraising database the donor's name, address, email, telephone, and amount donated. Our fundraising database is protected by secure user IDs and passwords, to help protect it from misuse, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. For more details on the collection and use of donor data, please see our Privacy Policy.

Refunds

To seek a donation refund you must contact ATWA within 14 days of receipt via this web site. Alternatively, you can send written queries to:
ATWA PO Box 1015, Canning Bridge, Applecross WA 6153.

Any donation, purchase or other transactions made through the website by a user inserting that user’s credit card details is final and not disputable. Where there has been an unauthorised use of a user’s credit card, and the unauthorised nature of that use is proved on the balance of probabilities, then the donation may be considered for refund.

ATWA thoroughly considers all requests for a refund and will ensure that genuine errors are corrected, however we are under no obligation to give refunds and the decisions on refunds will be at ATWA’s discretion. If you would like to request a refund please provide details of how you made the donation, the amount, the date and the circumstances justifying your request. If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your request for a refund you may still refer the request to your financial institution for further consideration of the disputed transaction.

If a donation is refunded, the associated tax receipt is no longer valid and should be securely destroyed. Please note it is your responsibility to submit correct receipts to the ATO (Australia Taxation Office).

Donations we cannot accept

In line with the Fundraising Institute Australia code we will not accept a donation where:

there is a reasonable belief that the donor is in vulnerable circumstances or lacks capacity to make a decision to donate; or
accepting the donation would compromise the interests and objectives of our cause
the cost of accepting the donation will be greater than the value of the donation; or
there is reason to believe that accepting the donation may give rise to litigation

ATWA cannot accept funds raised in a way that is contrary to our values or may be seen to compromise or contradict the work ATWA does. As a general rule ATWA will NOT enter into a fundraising agreement or accept donations from individuals, groups or corporations (as cash, pro-bono or gifts in kind) that are involved in activities that are incompatible with the objects of our cause, including the following:

Illegal activities
Violence
Discrimination
Irresponsible use or sale of Alcohol (and/or drugs)

High safety risks
Risks to children and young people
Nudity or sexual imagery
