Supporting communities affected by bushfires

Published 15 January 2020

AUSTRALIA: Plenary is supporting affected communities during this unprecedented bushfire season.

This includes supporting firefighting organisations, recovery efforts, affected staff and those willing to volunteer their time to help.

Plenary has made an initial donation of $100,000, split equally between the NSW Rural Fire Service, the Victorian Bushfire Appeal, the Red Cross Disaster Relief and Recovery, and the Wildlife Information, Rescue and Education Service Emergency Fund.

And in an extension of its longstanding commitment to match individual employee charitable donations to sanctioned Australian charities, Plenary is doubling its matched contribution for donations of $50 or more to organisations and appeals assisting with the bushfire emergency response.

Support is being offered to any employees volunteering with rural fire services or directly-engaged through Australian Defence Force Reserves, and additional paid leave is being offered to employees undertaking community-based volunteer work.
