As part of our commitment to spreading support as widely as possible, we rotate our charity partnerships every couple of years so that different organisations can benefit from our community’s involvement.

​

With this in mind, we are moving from supporting Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy Australia and are now proud to support Kids Giving Back.

​​

​Kids Giving Back creates meaningful volunteering opportunities for children, teens and families, helping young people build empathy and a strong sense of community while supporting those who need it most.

​

During our time supporting Nordoff-Robbins, 14,376 music therapy sessions were delivered, 13 music therapists were trained, 175 new instruments were purchased and 2 new programs were developed. We are incredibly proud of the impact achieved together.

 

We are grateful for everything Nordoff-Robbins has accomplished and look forward to supporting Kids Giving Back in the years ahead.

In late 2025, Women’s Community Shelters launched Biyani House, the first modular crisis housing response in NSW. This project provides independent living spaces for up to six women and their children fleeing domestic and family violence.

​

 

The four new units were prefabricated offsite and delivered in half the time of traditional building methods. This innovative approach allowed for faster delivery of safe housing while minimizing disruption to existing services.

Established in 1957, Tranby Aboriginal Co-operative is Australia’s oldest Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation (ACCO). For almost 70 years, Tranby has been an important place of self-determination, education and social activism for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Located on Gadigal Country (Glebe, Sydney), Tranby has continued to grow and transform over its history, evolving from a hub of social action and adult education into a nationally recognised provider of community-led learning and leadership programs. While the courses and programs have developed and evolved in response to community need, Tranby’s purpose remains the same: to make positive change happen for Mob.

As a Registered Training Organisation (RTO), Tranby proudly delivers nationally accredited courses designed by, and for, First Nations peoples. Our courses are grounded in community priorities, cultural knowledge and lived experience, creating pathways for Mob to lead, learn and thrive.

Greg Bright has passed away, aged 70. A legendary journalist and publisher, he had a deep appreciation for the art of obituary writing – but he never believed for a second that the end of somebody's life was the end of their story.

​

“Every newspaper story ever written was 100 per cent accurate, except to the handful of people who knew what actually happened.”
– Greg Bright

When I heard that Greg Bright had passed away my first instinct was to call him, because he would probably have something to say about it. He was a journalist, and so a hopeless gossip, and he saw gossip as a foundation stone of news, or possibly the entire foundation. The practice of seating journalists next to boring executives at boring events frustrated him. He wanted to be in the back of the room with the rank and file, the foot soldiers, the people who actually knew what was going on and would tell you about it. This was where news came from; everything else was stenography. Click here to read more.
