2. The person whose name appears on the registration form and Permission to Fundraise letter is the Registered Fundraiser, which makes them solely accountable for managing the Fundraising Event in an appropriate and responsible way. This includes deciding on the Fundraising Event date, venue, activity and any associated costs in running the event. The Registered Fundraiser must notify Youngcare of any changes to their Fundraising Event in advance and must only fundraise for the period of time authorised by Youngcare.

5. Youngcare will provide Registered Fundraisers with access to resources to assist with their event.
6. Registered Fundraisers need to comply with any obligations under applicable legislation and/or regulations in the State or Territory in which they are conducting their Fundraising Event. You may be responsible for organising permits, licenses, insurance or obtaining an authority to fundraise where necessary for fundraising activities such as raffles or competitions. This information will be available from your state government or local council and obtaining these permits is the responsibility of the Fundraiser and not Youngcare. For all gaming, trading, racing, licensing, promotional and fundraising requirements, please check legislation by contacting your nearest state office.
7. Youngcare accepts no responsibility for any loss, liability or injury, occupational, health, safety and welfare claims arising from any Fundraising Event.

Registered Fundraisers are responsible for obtaining and maintaining any appropriate insurance for their Fundraising Event, including public liability insurance.
8. Youngcares public liability insurance does not cover people who choose to fundraise on our behalf.

Contact Youngcare for more information on how to deposit money.

Donors who make a donation of $2 or more through your Fundraiser will be automatically issued with a receipt at the time of making their donation. Donors who make a donation of $2 or more, other than through your Fundraiser, Youngcare’s websites, or via cash donation, must be issued with a receipt by Youngcare. Youngcare must be notified of these donations and Youngcare can apply this donation to the Registered Fundraiser as an offline donation once the funds have been received into the Youngcare bank account.
