Community Action
HACCP International operates a community scheme to assist those whose lives are not as easy as they are for most.
This scheme is funded by donations from both the company and HACCP International staff and is operated by a committee of staff members who determine policy, mission and beneficiaries.
We are pleased to say that every single HACCP International staff member has committed to donate a prescribed amount to this year’s scheme.
2024 – 2025
This year, the committee, after seeking suggestions and receiving requests, and in line with its mission and strategy, made donations to the following carefully selected, organisations:
771 million people worldwide live without clean water close to home. Diarrhoea caused by dirty water, poor toilets and insufficient hygiene kills almost 800 children a day. A lack of clean water, decent toilets, and good hygiene keeps kids out of school, adults out of work and traps people in poverty.
Together we can unlock people’s potential with clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene. Without all three, people can’t live dignified, healthy lives. With all three, they can unlock their potential, break free from poverty, and change their lives for good.
Provide independent, impartial medical humanitarian assistance to the people who need it most.
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) cares for people affected by conflict, disease outbreaks, natural and human-made disasters, and exclusion from health care in more than 70 countries.
Our programs empower women, men and children so they can build lives free from poverty and injustice.
Our programs break cycles of poverty through teaching and education, protect the well-being of communities by providing medical care and programs that improve access to clean water and toilets, develop independent, strong communities through livelihood training and income-generating projects, and provide vulnerable individuals with pastoral care, social inclusion and advocacy
This charity aims to put a stop to Domestic and Family Violence. The charity is run by the parents of Hannah Clarke who was killed (burned to death in her car) along with her 3 children by her husband.
They implement small steps to try and educate not only women but also men about the impact of Domestic Violence and how it can escalate so quickly.
Mission Australia has been helping people move towards independence, and our commitment to this vital work has never been stronger.
Thanks to your support, together we helped 149,096 people in 2023 by combatting homelessness, assisting disadvantaged families and children, addressing mental health issues, fighting substance dependencies, and much more.
In 2023, 91% of our income went straight back into delivering services that assisted vulnerable Australians.
We appreciate every donation we receive and ensure that each dollar goes where it is needed most.
Father Chris Riley AM has been committed to supporting young people since his teens. Prior to establishing Youth Off The Streets, he worked as a teacher, youth worker, probation officer, residential carer and school principal.
Father Riley has always believed that there is no such thing as a “child born bad”, but instead there are harmful environments, circumstances and families that can negatively impact a young person.
His vision was to empower young people experiencing disadvantage by providing strengths-based strategies and positive options to help them build a better future for themselves.
Today, Youth Off The Streets provides a range of wraparound supports for young people. These include crisis accommodation and housing services, independent high schools, alcohol and other drugs counselling, youth justice support, life skills and employment programs, cultural support and community engagement, among other services
Brain cancer research in Australia has lagged behind other cancers in generating the life-saving breakthroughs and improvements in care that are urgently needed.
And it hasn’t attracted the same level of public interest or support.
Until now.
Brain Cancer Australia is building the infrastructure, the collaboration, the momentum and the support to power brain cancer research in Australia. The result will be immediate improvements in patient care and a pathway to increased discoveries – impacting all Australians with brain cancer, the people who treat them, and the people who love them

We know that cancer research brilliance goes further, faster, when it’s backed by technology.
So we ask highly-esteemed cancer researchers to select the cancer research they believe in, and we supercharge it with technology. It works!
Australian Cancer Research Foundation’s approach has already saved the lives of Australians who would otherwise die from their cancer or pay an unacceptable price for more time. 2 in 5 Australians will be diagnosed with cancer by the age of 85. The remaining 3 will be closely affected by a diagnosis.

Inhabiting about 100 small islands in the south Pacific, Fijians live with the constant risks of extreme weather and climate change impacting their homes and livelihoods.
CARE began its charity work in Fiji through local partner organisation, Live & Learn, in 2016, after Cyclone Winston, the strongest storm ever recorded in the southern hemisphere, devastated the Pacific nation. More than 540,000 people were affected with 44 killed and 131 injured.
