Good360 Australia

In the wake of ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred, Good360 Australia remains committed to supporting the recovery of affected communities in southeast Queensland and northern New South Wales. While the cyclone's impact was less severe than initially feared, it still left its mark on communities with rivers rising dangerously close to major flood levels, and thousands of homes and businesses impacted. As of March 17, insurers have received over 63,000 claims—mainly for food spoilage, wind damage, and water getting into homes. This underscores the significant challenges that residents continue to face. At Good360, we’re working with our amazing network of local organisations to get essential goods to the people who need them most. We understand that recovery extends beyond immediate relief, and we are dedicated to assisting communities as they rebuild and strengthen their resilience. Recovery takes time, and we’re here for the long haul. If your organisation is supporting affected communities, get in touch with our team at (02) 8594 3600 to see how we can help. Otherwise, if you'd like to support our long-term disaster recovery efforts, make a donation at https://lnkd.in/gdfEG96s #DisasterRecovery #CycloneAlfred #CircleOfGood #DisasterResponse

Big thanks to Winc Australia for their generous donations of stationery and office supplies! 📚✏️ For our charity and disadvantaged school members, these essentials make a huge difference—freeing up budgets that can now go towards vital programs that support communities in need.

Disaster recovery is a marathon, not a sprint. While emergency relief is critical in the immediate aftermath, the road to rebuilding takes months—even years. At Good360 Australia, we stand with disaster-affected communities for the long haul. We ensure they receive the right goods at the right time—not just in the first few weeks, but throughout the long-term recovery and rebuilding phases. From essentials like toiletries and bedding to furniture, appliances, and school supplies, we provide the products needed to help communities not just survive, but thrive again. Recovery doesn’t end when the headlines fade. We’ll be there, every step of the way. 💚 #DisasterRecovery #DisasterResponse #HelpingCommunities #BringingGoodTogether

Good360 Australia's 2024 Annual Report is now live! 🌟💚 This year, the cost-of-living crisis has placed immense pressure on everyday Australians—and the not-for-profit sector has felt the strain too. As more people turned to charities for support, the demand for essential non-food aid surged, stretching organisations to their limits. At Good360, we’ve worked tirelessly alongside our incredible network of donors, partners, and members to ensure brand-new goods reach the people who need them most. But our work isn’t done—there’s still so much more to do. 📖 Read the full report and see the impact we made together: https://lnkd.in/g2JmSS_u #BringingGoodTogether #CircleOfGood #HelpingCommunities #Good360Australia

Digital access is no longer a luxury – it's a necessity. Yet, nearly 1.2 million young Australians still don’t have a laptop or desktop computer at home, limiting their ability to study, complete homework, and develop the digital skills they need for the future. At Good360 Australia, we’re proud to collaborate with WorkVentures and Good Things Australia on the National Device Bank, helping to connect refurbished laptops, tablets, and mobiles with communities in need. By simply donating just 10% of the 10 million devices refreshed every five years, Australian businesses can play a pivotal role in bridging the digital divide. A recent donation of 2,000 devices from Deloitte shows the incredible impact corporate Australia can have. If more organisations followed suit, we could change the future for disadvantaged students nationwide.
