The AEC uses a range of regulatory tools to ensure electoral participants are accountable for their obligations, and the integrity of Australia’s electoral system is protected.

Registered Entity Name	Registration Type

Editor’s notes:

• The disclosure scheme requires registered political parties, significant third parties, associated entities, members of the House of Representatives, Senators, donors and third parties that have incurred electoral expenditure to lodge annual financial disclosure returns with the AEC.
• 2024-25 annual disclosure return data may complement the election financial disclosure return data published by the AEC in October of 2025. Candidates in the 2025 federal election who were endorsed by a registered political party may have submitted a ‘nil return’ for election disclosures and rolled their reporting into the 2024-25 annual return for their party if those financial transactions were the responsibility of a party committee.
• The disclosure threshold for the 2024–25 financial year returns was $16,900. The threshold is indexed on 1 July each year.
• The disclosure period covers 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025. Any transactions made after 30 June 2025 will be disclosed in a future annual disclosure return.
• Please note that information published to the internet can take a few minutes to appear for all users. If you don’t see information precisely at 9am, please wait a few minutes and try again.
• Further information on the financial disclosure scheme is available at: Financial disclosure.
• In February 2025 the Parliament passed the Electoral Legislation Amendment (Electoral Reform) Act 2025, which will significantly change the funding and disclosure scheme commencing 1 July 2026. Information on funding and disclosure reforms is available at: Funding and disclosure legislative changes.
