Our people play a vital role in the communities we serve, everywhere across the nation. Australia Post has a strong commitment to investing in local communities and – through a dedicated program of sponsorships and grants – we are giving back to the people who support our business every day.
We presented the Australia Post Community Champion Award to 26 of our people for their volunteer work in local communities.
We continued to support research into a variety of medical conditions, including melanoma, juvenile diabetes, Friedreich’s ataxia, prostate cancer and breast cancer.
Our people raised more than $234,000 through Be Seen in Red and Green staff fundraising events.
In conjunction with our partner Opera Australia, we received the AbaF Qantaslink Regional Award.
We continued to promote education and literacy by supporting National Literacy and Numeracy Week and Phiggles the Flying Scientist.
We helped regional and rural communities with our support of the Stawell Gift athletics carnival and a drought-relief concert in Tallangatta, Victoria.
