Community giving

Community-based programs that improve health and well-being are the focus of our giving. We’ve learned that we can have a bigger impact on society if we work closely with several key charities over the long-term, rather than providing support on an ad hoc basis.

Our charity partners show us where we can help the most. By listening to them, we learn which programs to support to continue making a meaningful difference in people’s lives. Whether it’s improving health, treating disease or helping communities learn how to care for themselves, the goal of our giving is to make people healthier, safer and better able to enjoy life.

Throughout the year we provide cash donations to a number of charities in each Australia and support emergency disaster relief efforts across the Asia-Pacific region. The majority of our financial support goes to Camp Quality, Mission Australia and Barnardos who run programs that benefit communities right across the country.

Product donations
Many physicians and nurses donate their time and professional skills to provide treatment to communities in need. We donate our products for use in volunteer medical missions that are conducted under the direction of a qualified charitable non-profit organisation.To apply for a product donation complete the product application form and submit to donations@its.jnj.com.

Volunteer programs
We also give our skills, knowledge and time to assist charities. Our people are encouraged to participate in community programs and receive paid leave for time given for volunteering.
