Community Investment
The Qantas Group works
with partner organisations
dedicated to making a
real difference to national
challenges: poverty and social
inclusion (especially among
young Australians), disability
awareness, health and
environmental sustainability.
This effort is wide-ranging,
encompassing nancial contributions,
collaborations on major events and
initiatives, employee volunteering
and the Group’s charitable trust, the
Qantas Foundation.
We also continue to support Australian
excellence in the arts, sport, food and
wine, recognising their importance to
our national life.
Qantas in the community in 2012/2013:
»Launched a partnership with
the Make-a-Wish Foundation
to grant wishes by providing
ights for young Australians
withlife-threateningillnesses.
»New partnership with Mission
Australia’s Youth Beat service in
Tasmania, which reaches out to
vulnerable young people, checking
on their health and providing support
where needed.
»Partnered with OzHarvest on
thesecond annual CEO CookOff,
where chefs and executives cook
meals for more than 1,000 people
in need — raising awareness of
homelessness and more than $1 million
in funds to help address it.
»Broad support for the cause of prostate
cancer research and awareness,
including the Prostate Cancer
Foundation of Australia, Movember
and the Australian Prostate Cancer
World Conference, held in Melbourne
in August.
» Helped talented young Australian
artists and designers in 11 disciplines
advance their career through the
Spirit of Young Australia awards
program — now in its eight year, with
the winners securing funding and
mentorship opportunities.
»The Jetstar ‘Flying Start’ Program
was launched in Australia in January
2013, offering a $30,000 grant to
a community group or cause. The
program’s rst grant went to Mummy’s
Wish, a small charity that provides
practical help for mothers affected
by cancer.
Qantas is a strong
advocate for the
cause of men’s
health, including the
‘Movember’ initiative.
