About AUSPOL

AUSPOL - Police Welfare Foundation

AUSPOL - Police Welfare Foundation was primarily established to assist currently serving, and former law enforcement officers and their families, however assistance may be provided to any person in need.

AUSPOL - Police Welfare Foundation has been approved by the Australian Taxation Office as a public fund for the relief of persons in necessitous circumstances.

The types of assistance that AUSPOL - Police Welfare Foundation may offer include assistance with the immediate financial needs of a police officer and/or their dependants in a case where there is a loss of life or livelihood. It could also cover emergency financial assistance in the case of an unexpected crisis. All requests for assistance will be considered and assessed according to the information provided by the applicant and other relevant information available.

A person is in necessitous circumstances where his or her financial resources are insufficient to obtain all that is necessary, not only for a bare existence, but for modest standard of living in the Australian community. A strong indicator of this would be where a person’s level of income is such that they are eligible to receive income tested government benefits.
