Yes, as ASHM is a DGR organisation, you can claim a deduction on your tax return for any donations of $2 or over.
How do I get a tax receipt for my donation?

How are applications for support considered and approved by the Committee?
Applications under AUD2,000 are reviewed and approved by at least 2 members of ASHMs executive team. Applications over AUD2,000 are presented to the FRMA for approval.
What will my donation be used for?
