In general, churches in Australia are not tax deductible.
Some of the activities they perform may be, but that requires a relatively complex separation of accounts where one "business" is deductible, but the other is not.
It can be done, but my experience is that most churches don't bother since the administrative burden exceeds the value.
I must admit to being ignorant of the specifics. My brother in law is a pastor, and he mentioned that he tithes/donates by CC because it is tax deductible. He used to teach accounting, so I am sure that he understands the system.
