Our Impact

Odonata are empowering and enabling all Australians to save wildlife, reverse climate change and increase biodiversity. They do this through the creation of a network of threatened species sanctuaries and corridors, undertaking cutting-edge research, and inspiring and backing businesses and entrepreneurs with a vision for experiences in nature and nature-focused farms.

Ocean Mind is a charity that provides therapeutic surf programs for young people who are experiencing mental health challenges, social isolation and disabilities. Using a simple mix of Surfing, Mentoring and Fun they create a therapeutic environment for young people to challenge themselves, learn new skills and flourish.

MacKillop has a long history of serving children, families and the community. MacKillop works with some of the community’s most disadvantaged children, young people and families deeply impacted by trauma. The sooner we can assist a young child impacted by trauma, the better the chances are for them to heal and grow. MacKillop is passionate about early intervention and an evidenced-based belief that healing from trauma such as violence, abuse and neglect is possible through targeted intervention. Their trauma-informed and culturally sensitive services include Out of home care (foster, kinship, and residential care), Education (including three specialist schools across VIC), Family Services and Heritage and Information Services.
