Community

We strive to make a positive contribution to South West Victoria, and are always up for a chat with anyone who shares our passion and commitment to the region.

We’re proud to support a number of clubs, organisations and entities – it’s one way we can recognise and help the communities who’ve supported us. And if we’re not able to help financially, we’ll do what we can to offer in-kind support. The entities listed on this page is an indication of who and what we’ve supported over the past couple of years. If you’d like to discuss a support opportunity, get in touch using the form at the bottom of this page.

Every summer we back local cricket. We’re the major sponsor of the Cobden Cricket Club in the South West Cricket Association, and a minor sponsor of the Nirranda Cricket Club who play in the Warrnambool/Moyne and District Cricket Association.

Each Christmas we support the Rotary Club of East Warrnambool’s iconic Hole-In-One competition. Running from Boxing Day to Australia Day at Warrnambool’s Lady Bay, the event usually raises close to $80,000 for distribution across around 35 local not-for-profit organisations.

When the days shorten and the temperatures drop, you’ll find us backing local netball and footy. We’re a long-term supporter of the Cobden Bombers and Simpson Tigers Football Netball Clubs and, over the past two seasons, have thrown our support behind the HFNL as a major supporter of their junior competition.

We’re also long-term supporters of a couple of golf clubs: our local at Cobden and a challenging 9-hole links course at Peterborough, on the Great Ocean Road.

We also have a handful of extremely devoted fishermen in the company, so are thrilled to remain a supporter of Warrnambool’s Offshore and Light Game Fishing Club.

We help out students from our local schools, contributing to Cobden Tech’s annual presentation awards, and recently helped two local Corangamite Shire secondary students raise funds to trek the Kokoda Trail this July.

We’re proud to get behind local industry events, too. For instance, we’ve thrown our support behind the South West Dairy Ladies Luncheon for the past two years, and last year played a significant role in the inaugural Careers Expo hosted by the Neil Porter Legacy (NPL), & Warrnambool and District Careers Teachers Association.

And we lend a hand with one-off requests – like the Cobden Gift in October 2024, or financial assistance to a local waterskier to help him represent Australia at the Barefoot Watersking Championships in Florida, USA last year.

Every Wednesday at midday, we’re out and about helping deliver pre-cooked meals to some of Cobden’s more vulnerable residents, as part of CobdenHealth’s Meals on Wheels service – and we’re loving it!

As you can see, we support a broad array of clubs, sports and organisations.
