Is it against australian law to sell raffle tickets for the purpose of helping my family?

Im a single mum of 2 young children. I dont make much money and am finding it hard to afford anything beyond general living expenses. I had an idea that i could make up a few gift baskets and sell raffles tickets and use the profits to buy chrissy presents for my kids. I just wanted to make sure that this isnt illegal? Im in South Australia.

Yes, it is against the law.You must be a registered charity or club or association.There are quite severe penalties including jail sentences for running unlicenced raffles or charities.You must also be registered with the tax office.
