WORKPLACE GIVING AWARDS
2023 Workplace Giving Awards
The Australian Workplace Giving Awards celebrate outstanding workplace giving programs across the country. The Awards are designed to spotlight leading programs that will inspire and motivate businesses, charities and employees to grow workplace giving.
Winners for the 8th annual Australian Workplace Giving Awards have been announced for 2023, with entries providing the opportunity to celebrate Australia’s largest corporations and their employees’ incredible impact on much-loved charities. As the leading organisation supporting Australian employees to donate to charities through their places of work, Workplace Giving Australia was proud to announce the winners at a dual location event in Sydney and Melbourne on 31st of October at an evening ceremony generously hosted by King & Wood Mallesons. This year’s judging panel, chaired by Associate Professor Wendy Scaife, Director of The Australian Centre for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Studies and QUT Business School, all felt an increase in the quality of the applications and diversity of organisations. Generously sponsored by the Australian Government Department of Social Services, the awards highlight workplace giving programs that enable support for causes while fostering a sense of purpose and unity within organisations.
