Australia Post Annual Report 2005/06

Since we instigated the Australia Post Community Champion Award in January 2005, 36 of our staff, licensees and contractors have been recognised for the dedicated voluntary work that benefits their local communities. Some of the diverse organisations that have benefited through the award include Special Olympics; Camp Quality; St John Ambulance; Nutcha Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Corporation; Make-a-Wish Foundation; life saving, rural fire brigade, ambulance and state emergency services; native animal shelters; and junior sporting groups.

Award winners receive $1,000 to donate to their chosen charity or community organisation as well as a $100 gift voucher for their personal use. Winners of the third round of the award also had the opportunity to run in the Queen’s Baton Relay as part of Australia Post’s involvement in the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games.
