Our work in helping to build prosperous communities mainly focuses on the areas of mental health, disaster support, literacy and the environment.
However, we’re proud to work with a small number of additional organisations to support Australian communities in other ways too.
The Big Issue
The Big Issue is dedicated to supporting and creating work opportunities for people experiencing homelessness, marginalisation and disadvantage. Australia Post has proudly supported The Big Issue since 1996, through initiatives including:
Increasing access for vendors in metropolitan and regional areas, with selected Post Offices serving as magazine distribution points where vendors can purchase copies of The Big Issue to sell to the public and earn income from each sale.
Providing employment opportunities for The Big Issue’s Women’s Workforce, such as as packing and mailing out resources for our community partners.
Supporting volunteering programs such as vendor magazine launches.
Supporting the distribution of The Big Issue Subscription program, leveraging our network to send the magazine to subscribers.
Requests for support
