Farmer talking with a Salvo chaplain

Rural Chaplains and Drought Relief Support

We can't stop a drought, but with your support, we can be there to help. The Salvos are called upon to help over 91,000 people every year by providing practical support at the coalface of an emergency.

Our network of rural chaplains supports people and communities in regional and remote areas across Australia. They deliver emergency financial assistance (e.g. help with bills, vouchers for farming supplies), goods and food, participate in community engagement activities and conduct regular visits to farmers and rural workers in need of practical assistance, or simply a listening ear and a hand of friendship.

Their help is critical on the frontline of an emergency, when people are impacted by tragedy out of their control.

Your donation can ensure we help as many people as we can, as fast as we can.

Our commitment to you

This document outlines our service commitment to you, in respect of the Direct Debit Request (DDR) arrangements made between The Salvation Army (New South Wales / Queensland) Property Trust and you. It sets out your rights, our commitment to you and your responsibilities to us together with where you should go for assistance.

Also, we will issue an Annual receipt statement at the end of the financial year unless otherwise requested by you.

Initial terms of the arrangement

In terms of the Direct Debit Request arrangements made between us and signed by you, we undertake to periodically debit your nominated account for the agreed amount for donation to The Salvation Army to be used within Australia (unless you specify otherwise) to help provide assistance to those in need.

Drawing arrangements

  • The first drawing under this Direct Debit arrangement will occur on your nominated day.
  • If any drawing falls due on a non-business day, it will be debited to your account on the next business day following the scheduled drawing date.
  • We will give you at least 14 days notice in writing when changes to the initial terms of the arrangement are made. This notice will state/ may include the new amount, frequency, next drawing date and any other changes to the initial terms.
  • If you wish to discuss any changes to the initial terms, please contact The Salvation Army, Communications & Public Relations Department, P.O Box A229, Sydney South NSW 1232, or phone 13 SALVOS (13 72 58), or email donations@salvationarmy.org.au

  • If you want to make changes to the drawing arrangements, contact us The Salvation Army, Communications & Public Relations Department, P.O Box A229, Sydney South NSW 1232, or phone 13 SALVOS (13 72 58), or email donations@salvationarmy.org.au

These changes may include:

  • deferring the drawing; or
  • altering the schedule; or
  • stopping an individual debit; or
  • suspending the DDR; or
  • cancelling the DDR completely.

Enquiries

Direct all enquiries to us, rather than to your financial institution, and these should be made at least 14 days or 10 working days prior to the next scheduled drawing date. All communication addressed to us should include your Supporter ID number.

All personal customer information held by us will be kept confidential except that information provided to our financial institution to initiate the drawing to your nominated account.

Disputes

  • If you believe that a drawing has been initiated incorrectly, we encourage you to take the matter up directly with us by contacting The Salvation Army, Communications & Public Relations Department, P.O Box A229, Sydney South NSW 1232, or phone 13 SALVOS (13 72 58), or email donations@salvationarmy.org.au
  • If you do not receive a satisfactory response from us to your dispute, contact your financial institution who will respond to you with an answer to your claim:
    • within 5 business days (for claims lodged within 12 months of the disputed drawing); or
    • within 30 business days (for claims lodged more than 12 months after the disputed drawing)
  • You will receive a refund of the drawing amount if we cannot substantiate the reason for the drawing.

Note: Your financial institution will ask you to contact us to resolve your disputed drawing prior to involving them.

Your commitment to us

It is your responsibility to ensure that:

  • your nominated account can accept direct debits (your financial institution can confirm this); and
  • that on the drawing date there is sufficient cleared funds in the nominated account; and
  • that you advise us if the nominated account is transferred or closed.

If your drawing is returned or dishonoured by your financial institution, The Salvation Army may contact you to negotiate either an extra debit or the receipt issued will be invalidated. No more than 2 (two) defaults are permitted. After this, The Salvation Army will notify you that the DDR will be cancelled. Any transaction fees payable by us in respect of the above will be payable by you to The Salvation Army.
