Workplace Giving

Workplace giving lets employees help children in need through regular donations that make a big difference. It’s tax-effective, easy to set up, completely flexible and it helps people feel connected to creating brighter futures for Aussie kids.

• Let your HR or payroll team know you’d like to donate through workplace giving.
• Choose your donation amount, even $2 each pay makes a difference.
• Your donation is processed automatically and tax benefits apply instantly.
• Begin making meaningful impact every pay cycle.

You’ll need to set up your donation again with your new employer, as your workplace giving registration won’t transfer to your new job. If your new workplace doesn’t offer workplace giving, you can still support Variety by becoming a regular giver, just note that these donations aren’t deducted pre-tax.

We hope you’ll continue to support us in whatever way works best for you.

Workplace giving helps employers create a workplace where people feel connected to something bigger. Plus, it reduces your employees’ taxable income, so they benefit every pay. And because it’s simple to run and cost-effective, it’s an easy way for businesses to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families who need our support.

Companies match employee workplace giving donations because it strengthens their social impact, boosts employee engagement, and shows a genuine commitment to supporting the community. Matching gifts also encourages more employees to participate, helping organisations create a larger, more meaningful contribution together.
