Lodge a financial disclosure return
Who needs to lodge an annual return?
Registered political parties, associated enitites, donors to political parties and third parties* must lodge annual returns.
How to lodge an annual return
Annual returns can be lodged through the eReturns portal. To use eReturns you will need to obtain a username and password. Registered political parties and associated entities must contact the AEC to arrange a username and password. Donors and third parties that do not have an eReturns account may create their own.
