Become a partner
Through the CEO Challenge Partnership Program, businesses take an active role in providing support and resources to domestic and family violence prevention services.
Your business’ support can make a world of difference in what can often be desperate situations facing women and children, other family members, and the service itself as it struggles to meet a broad range of needs.
Our partners tell us their partnership is one of the most rewarding experiences, but don’t take our word for it, read what our corporate, business and community partners have to say about their experiences.
Call us on 07 3119 6347 to get started or download our Partnerships That Work Guide for more information.
Doesn’t the government fund these services?
This is one of the most in-demand and underfunded sectors. Yet the staff deliver one of the toughest and most complex services—supporting physically and emotionally abused women and their children to create new lives free from violence. These services receive government funding to provide basic essentials for the refuge. But it’s just that, basic essentials: wages, rent, electricity, gas, basic groceries.
A partnership means the service is better equipped to support women and children fleeing violent homes. We’re not talking about creature comforts. We’re talking about things like linen and pillows, their own underwear and clothes, toiletries and school packs.
Our community partners have incredibly humble needs. A business’ support to meet these needs makes a world of difference to the women and children staying there, and the staff who must budget every cent.
Our corporate partners
Our corporate partners make it possible for Australia’s CEO Challenge to create our business-community partnerships and provide workplace education and awareness programs.
We have three Corporate Partner’s packages starting from $5000. We tailor each package to meet the needs of your organisation because we believe your partnership should be as unique as you are. As a corporate partner, you are also making critical contributions to un-partnered community partners. Call or email us to talk about how a corporate partnership could work for your business.
