Bequests and gifts

Leaving a gift in your Will or as a Bequest

Giving a charitable gift in your name or in honour of a loved one can mean the world of difference as we work towards a future free from domestic and family violence. 

How your gift or bequest will make a difference

WESNET accepts gifts and bequests on behalf of WESNET (Women's Services Network) and the Australian Women Against Violence Alliance. 

Gifts

WESNET is a Public Benevolent Institution and has deductible gift recipient status. This means gifts over $2 are tax deductible.   To make a gift or a donation please visit our donation page.  

How to leave a bequest in your Will

Leaving a bequest to WESNET is straightforward.

If you don't have a will and wish to create one, it's a good idea to get professional advice. If you don't have a solicitor you can contact the Public Trustee in your state or territory. 

If you already have a will, then all you need to do is add a codicil - a short legal amendment to your existing will. 

WESNET 

The details about our organisation you need to provide your solicitor are  as follows:

  • Name of organisation : WESNET (the Women's Services Network) Inc

  • ARBN: Australian Registered Body Number 616 222 041

Women and men's hands form together with a heart painted in red in their palms.

Giving a gift or leaving a bequest will support the work of WESNET and the women and children we support.
