Funding

Lighthouse Labs is a Not for Profit Public Company and Charitable Medical Research Institute (Australian Business Number 57 103 585 235). We have been endorsed by the Australian Tax Office as an Income Tax Exempt Charity with Deductible Gift Recipient Status (ITEC & DGR) and also hold a Western Australia Charitable Collection Licence (20532).

Public derived funds are used on research facets only, i.e. scientific premises, scientific equipment, scientific staff and scientific consumables.

We endeavor to source revenue from non-public activity (e.g. teaching revenue, intellectual property, grants and corporate entities) to meet costs associated with administration and public relations.

Administration and fund-raising accountability is via an independent auditor (Greg Ledger, Chartered Accountants) and several government departments (Department of Consumer and Employment Protection, Department of Liquor Gaming and Racing, Australian Securities and Investment Commission, Australian Tax office).
