What makes the top charities in Australia?
It can be hard trying to work out which charities are the top charities in Australia but there are a few things you can look out for to make it easier to find a worthwhile charity to donate to. These include:
-
Check if the charity is regulated through the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission (ACNC)
-
Does the charity comply with the Code of Conduct of the Australian Council of International Development (ACFID)?
-
Check the charity’s transparency around how funds are used, and how much of your donation will go directly towards their cause

Why we’re considered one of the top 10 charities in Australia
Without access to life’s necessities, education and being protected from harm, many children are among the world’s most vulnerable. We know that when disaster strikes children are more at risk of not surviving, are more susceptible to disease and are at a higher risk of harm such as trafficking and being illegally recruited. And the long-term impacts can be crippling.
With our steadfast dedication to children, our global reach, the effectiveness of our programs and swift emergency aid, Save The Children is often ranked among the top 10 charities in Australia. We work hard to reach as many children as possible, as effectively as we can, with a focus on making long-lasting, positive change.
We utilise our knowledge & experience and take advantage of our global scale to make sure every dollar donated to us is invested to deliver the best possible outcomes for children at the lowest possible cost. This is just one of the reasons we are considered one of the top 10 charities in Australia. Over 80% of donations made to our charity go directly towards program expenditure and we have policies in place that ensure our ongoing accountability. We take measures to ensure all our activities are conducted legally, ethically and following high standards of integrity. We also take measures that enable us to effectively assess, measure and learn from program outcomes.
