You may also attach a letter asking the Commission to restrict information from

public access

The Charities Act requires information on the Charities Register to be available to the public.

However, it also allows Internal Affairs to prevent the public from seeing information if it is in the

“public interest” to do so.

See our information sheet Restricting public access to your information on the Charities Register for

more details.

If you have a reason that you think is in the “public interest” to restrict any of the information in this

form, please attach a letter that includes:

• details of the information you would like restricted

• why it is in the public interest to have it restricted and

• evidence to support your request.

Internal Affairs will consider your request and let you know its decision.

Please note: your request will be considered on a case-by-case basis, and even if restricted, this

information will still be subject to requests under the Official Information Act 1982.

Board to determine your ongoing eligibility for registration and to carry out its functions under the

Inland Revenue Department to assist in the carrying out of powers and functions under any of the

by Statistics New Zealand. Information supplied to Statistics New Zealand is used for statistical
