Thermomix Raffle Guide: Raise $3,400–$5,000
Thermomix raffles have become increasingly popular fundraising tools, consistently delivering impressive results. With the right strategy, organisations are raising between $3,400 and $5,000 per raffle. Here’s your guide to running a successful Thermomix raffle.
Key advantages of Thermomix raffles
No upfront prize cost
- Around $2,650 for the current TM7 model — check with Thermomix Australia, as pricing and model line-up change
- Order after winner selection using raffle proceeds
- The winner receives:
- A new Thermomix appliance
- A personal setup session with a Thermomix consultant
- One-on-one training in their home
- Easy to arrange through Thermomix Australia
The consultation service is a valuable bonus, since winners get expert guidance on using their new Thermomix. The consultant will demonstrate basic recipes, safety features and all key functions to help the winner get started. This enhanced prize experience adds to your raffle’s appeal without any extra cost to your organisation.
Minimal permit requirements
A single Thermomix sits under the permit threshold in most of the country — but not everywhere:
- No permit needed: NSW ($30,000), VIC ($22,340), SA ($5,000) — a ~$2,650 prize is comfortably clear. TAS and NT exempt online raffles entirely
- Watch these two: ACT ($2,500) — a single Thermomix now sits just over the line — and Western Australia ($200), where you’ll need a permit
- QLD measures on gross ticket sales, not prize value: keep your maximum take under $50,000 and you’re fine
- Confirm where you stand in under a minute with the free permit checker, or read the compliance overview for the wider picture
- If you do need one, we can lodge the permit application on your organisation’s behalf
