At Carlisle, we believe in helping our community be better, which is why we’re proud to partner with LifeChanger Foundation for the third consecutive year for the KM4KIDS, a 21-day health and wellbeing challenge. 79 Carlisle Team members tied their laces, embraced the challenge, and logged every kilometre to support the mental health journey of young people. Recognising that the minor challenge of tiredness and fatigue would empower young people to tackle life’s challenges with confidence, we again held our 24-hour treadmill challenge with incredible passionate and selfless team members taking shifts around the clock. We collectively covered 3,700KMs, raised over $5,000 and continued a much-needed conversation within our teams on the importance of youth mental health. Overall, LifeChanger raised $86,155 and tracked a total of 13,149.28KMs. Every dollar raised goes directly towards LifeChanger preventative youth mental health programs, helping young people build resilience, find their inner strength, and work towards brighter. A shout out to our inspiring team both locally and our international team from Mitek, Vietnam, who participated with us for the first time and stepped up to the challenge. For those who walked, or generously donated, you’ve done something incredible – you’ve changed lives through the incredible work of the LifeChanger Foundation.

Celebrating 20 Years of Sales Excellence at Carlisle Homes, this year we brought a touch of Mediterranean fiesta to our annual Carlisle Homes Sales Conference and Gala Awards hosted at the impeccable Intercontinental, Sorrento. Over three days, with a range of guest speakers and business insights, the focus was on ‘elevating’ knowledge, mindset, and relationships - balanced with some luxurious and well-deserved relaxation and rewards. Bringing our industry leading sales team together is always such a powerful reminder of the strength, dedication and company spirit shown by our sales team. The highly anticipated Carlisle Homes Annual Sales Gala night topped off the event with well-deserved celebrations, recognising outstanding individual achievements together with our collective commitments towards making ‘life better’ for our customers, and one another.

As the Summer Olympics has come to a close in Paris, so has our inaugural 2024 Carlisle Games. Over the past two weeks, our office was alive with excitement as teams from across the business came together to compete in various games and activities. Much like the Olympic Games symbolise unity, teamwork, and the pursuit of excellence, our Carlisle Games exemplified these qualities in abundance. The event kicked off with a French-inspired opening ceremony and was designed to get people up from their desk and make the most of the brilliant perks at Carlisle Homes headquarters including, Basketball, Table Tennis, Shuffle Board and Air Hockey.  Throughout the two weeks, teams competed fiercely in various playoffs, culminating in a gold medal-winning challenge where three office-based teams faced off to build a flat-pack dog kennel. These kennels have since been donated to some very happy furry customers at the RSPCA, and we're pleased to report that all teams are still working harmoniously together - despite the known challenges of a flat pack assembly!  The sportsmanship and camaraderie displayed throughout the Carlisle Games truly captured the spirit of Carlisle.  We are so proud of all the Australian representatives at the 2024 Paris Olympics - you’ve done Australia proud, as have our very own 2024 Carlisle Games participants. #wearecarlisle #officeolympics #carlislehomes

Our focus is to be a guiding force in the construction industry for many reasons, but one purpose very close to our hearts is championing women’s career progress and visibility in what has traditionally been a male-dominated domain. We're extremely proud to have attended and sponsored the HIA Building Women Lunch to celebrate the empowerment, visibility and advocation for women in the building industry. The day was filled with excitement, networking and continued admiration for the great things women are achieving and striving for in construction. Dr Lauren Burns OAM, the first-ever Gold Medallist in taekwondo at the Sydney Olympics in 2000, spoke highly of empowerment, recognition, perseverance, and how to strive to achieve only your best, no matter the cause. The most valuable part of what we do is our people and this day reflected on the hard work we continue to do, to lead change for not only women, but for all in our industry. This is why we're recognised as a Great Place to Work and a Great Place to Work for Women. Thank you to the HIA for hosting a joyous event to celebrate women and for allowing us to be involved in this great initiative the past 6 years. #HIABuildingWomen #WomenInConstruction #GreatPlaceToWork #CarlisleHomes #LifesBetter

With tired bodies but full hearts, we welcome the safe return of our team of 14 Carlisle Homes 'LifeChangers' from their recent adventures on Maria Island, Tasmania. Over three days, 60kms, and carrying a minimum of 20kgs each, this team showed immense inspiration as they tackled mountains of dizzying heights, built incredible friendships, and raised support and awareness for LifeChanger Foundation, focusing on youth mental health awareness and prevention programs. This successful journey marks our third collaborative hike, involving over 40 participants across various departments. Our commitment to LifeChanger's cause reflects our dedication to nurturing resilience in young people within communities across Australia. Together, these 14 Carlisle Hikers raised over $36,000, which will significantly impact the lives of young individuals. We sincerely thank our outstanding team and those who have supported the Hikers during this challenge. #LifeChanger #YouthMentalHealth #Gratitude #WeAreCarlisle #GPTW

Earlier this month, we celebrated two decades of Carlisle.    The worthy anniversary celebration was held in true festival style, filled with excitement and intrigue in every corner of the fabulous Timber Yard venue. From food trucks to arcade games, glitter stations, and captivating entertainment, every detail added to the pure magic of the day. Our Managing Director, John Doulgeridis, took a moment to reflect on our journey from humble beginnings to becoming the esteemed, award-winning organisation we are today, cementing our strength and confidence for the next 20 years ahead.    There was a reflection on the learnings and triumphs, all with a true acknowledgment and a sincere thank you to the entire Carlisle community—our people, our customers, our trades, and our suppliers — who have positively impacted the company’s success over the years.    One of the many highlights was Reigan Derry's stellar performance, which immersed the audience in true Ministry of Sound energy and kept the dancefloor alive until the very end.    This celebration perfectly captured the Carlisle culture with a genuine nod of gratitude to our entire team, whose dedication to quality, innovation, and excellence has led us to where we are today.     Here’s to 20 years of growth, achievement, and making ‘life better’. Happy 20th Birthday, Team Carlisle! #wearecarlisle #20years #happybirthday #carlislehomes #lifesbetter #welcometobetter
