Starting Workplace Giving is easy
Workplace Giving makes it easy for organisations and employees to make a life-changing difference, together.
When you give through a Workplace Giving program, employees donate direct from their pre-tax salary each pay cycle and organisations have the option to match those donations.
Setting up your payroll donations
There are two ways you can set up a Workplace Giving program for your organisation:
Bank Transfers: Set up your program internally through regular bank transfers that coincide with your pay cycle. Visit the Australian Tax Office website to learn more or fill out our contact form.
Third-party giving platforms: Payroll giving platforms make it easy for your employees. Staff can setup an account, choose a charity and manage their contributions themselves.
Below are existing platforms we partner with:
Workplace Giving makes more wishes come true
Right now, more than 900 critically ill kids are on a wish journey. Wishes aren’t just ‘one-offs’ – each wish is carefully planned, designed and delivered to best complement a child’s medical treatment.
You can help more wishes come true every time you're paid. No two wishes are alike - but every wish transforms the lives of those involved, from children themselves to their family, friends, the wish team and wider community.
We don’t receive government funding - we rely on supporters like you to help wishes come true.
