Funding register
We administer the payment of public money to eligible political parties, independent members, and candidates.
There are three different types of funding:
- administrative expenditure funding
- policy development funding
- public funding.
This funding is separate from political donations made by organisations and individuals.
The Electoral Act 2002 (the Act) and determinations made by the Electoral Commissioner outline what each type of funding can and can’t be spent on. For example, administrative expenditure funding and policy development funding cannot be spent on political or electoral expenditure, but public funding can.
The current funding entitlements and payment cycles came into law in November 2018. Prior to November 2018, we administered public funding payments after each State general election.
The details of funding amounts paid to individual recipients since November 2018 are updated on a quarterly basis.
