Official Charity Status

In 2006 a meeting was held with the group which had now grown to 7, and it was decided to incorporate and seek charity status so that funds could be raised externally to help with veterinary and training expenses for Cavaliers with physical or behavioural problems. The necessary paperwork was completed and on 21 July 2006 the association was incorporated. This was followed a month later with charitable status recognised by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and on 3 December 2012 that status was transferred to the newly formed Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC).
