Australian Electoral Commission Disclosures
Australian Electoral Commission Disclosures
GetUp is a Political Campaigner, with the same regulation and requirements as political party or an associated entity of a political party, but we go above and beyond.
You can read GetUp's political expenditure declarations to the AEC.
The Australian Electoral Commission has confirmed GetUp's independence from political parties on three separate occasions:
First, in 2005. Then again, in 2010. And yet again, in 2019.
Major Donations Disclosures
GetUp is a not-for-profit organisation — and we don't receive any funding from political parties or the Government. In the last financial year we took money from 57,551 individual donors, making up a whopping 557,460 individual donations. 97% of these donations were under $100. On the rare occasion GetUp does receive a large donation, they're declared right here on our website within 30 days. Below are all cumulative donations over $10,000 for each financial year, for the last seven financial years. Donations which met relevant legislative disclosure thresholds prior to that can be found on the AEC website.
Note: All cumulative donations over $10,000 are declared within 30 days.
