Our social impact

We have always been community-minded and supported a broad range of causes throughout our history.

We partner with like-minded charities and organisation that align with our values and that we feel make the biggest impact on society.

We also believe support takes more than just a check, so we like to actively take part and encourage our people to as well, donating millions through employee volunteering initiatives and construction projects.

Through the Alcock Family Foundation (previously the ABN Foundation) we have extended a helping hand in a variety of areas including medical research, natural disaster relief work and the environment.

Vinnies CEO Sleepout

Tens of thousands of people across Australia are experiencing homelessness, with more in precarious housing situations. Helping people to access the dream of home ownership is our driving purpose, so the issue of homelessness is one we hold particularly important.

ABN Group executives have participated in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout numerous times since 2014, including Managing Director Dale Alcock, CEO Andrew Roberts and Parcel General Manager Jeremy Cordina, raising hundreds of thousands to support homelessness services.

June 2024 marked the sixth time Andrew Roberts participated in the sleepout, raising over $62,000 with that support of the ABN Group team.

Cottage by the Sea

In 2021 and 2022, ABN Group Victoria worked with Moremac Property Group and over 45 supporting partners to build a charity house for local not-for-profit children’s charity, Cottage by the Sea.

The breath-taking home in Point Lonsdale, raised $1.68 million at auction with all proceeds donated to support the work of the charity.

Cottage by the Sea said the funds raised would play an important role in the organisation’s mission to enhance the lives of young people by providing inspirational and fun opportunities in a holiday environment.
