Our local communities are our homes

In-Kind community support

By providing donations to local groups, and ‘In-Kind’ support to our local communities as they support Western Port, we've been able to improve the lives of children in our community as a result of in-kind donations.

Our workforce shares our passion for safe, healthy and happy futures for all kids and recognise that Corporate Social Responsibility is not just a good thing to do, it’s good business.

Health and wellbeing

At Western Port, we are passionate about promoting onsite health & wellbeing initiatives. We seek to enhance the wellbeing of employees with a diverse range of health awareness activities for us to recognise, celebrate and be involved in.

It's about doing what's right, and recognising those who do

It doesn’t just stop there, our people are passionate about giving back too. At Western Port, community involvement isn’t just encouraged, it’s lived every day. Through our Workplace Giving Program, our people voluntarily donate their own funds to causes that matter locally.

Thanks to their generosity:

• The Point Leo Surf Life Saving Club purchased a new side-by-side vehicle to support beach safety

• The Den Youth Program received funding to continue its vital work with young people in our region

Because when you work with us, you’re not just building steel, you’re helping build a stronger, safer, and more vibrant community.
