InfraBuild gives back

11 May 2023

At InfraBuild, we take our corporate social responsibilities seriously, and we are committed to supporting the communities we operate in.

Working within the framework of the InfraBuild values, our Community Connections program gives our InfraBuild Steel Centre, Midalia Steel, Steelforce and Tonkin Steel branches the means to engage with and support charitable organisations in their communities.

Between January and June this year, our branches had the opportunity to donate up to $5000 to an organisation or charity that supports and organises important social, community and sporting initiatives within their local areas and aligns with our values.  

Some of the donations that have gone to local organisations include: 

The Midalia Steel team in Wagin donated $2,000 to their local Community Resource Centre (CRC). The CRC connects the local community to a range of services, including technology support services for seniors, training and skill development classes, crafting classes for kids as well as educational events and seminars for teenagers. The donation will contribute to the cost of building repairs and maintenance so the CRC can continue to safely provide services to the Wagin community. (See image above).

In Toowoomba, the InfraBuild Steel Centre team donated $5,000 to the Toowoomba Netball Association. This money will help fund a pathway for Toowoomba players into the Greater Brisbane Netball League which enter the athletes into a higher competition level, and better develop their skills.

Our Steel Centre in Bendigo has donated $2,500 to Anglicare Victoria, an organisation that supports children, young people and families in need.

These vehicles are used to provide reliable transportation for kinship carers and young people in rural areas to access education, training, and employment opportunities.

The InfraBuild Steel Centre branch located in Coffs Harbour contributed $2,000 to sponsor Zoe’s classes.
