Community giving

Caring for the world, one person at a time…inspires and unites the people of Johnson & Johnson. Johnson & Johnson has been in the business of caring for people for more than 125 years. With a purpose beyond profit, we look for meaningful ways to support the community in areas of unmet needs.

The focus of our community giving is on community-based programs that improve health and well-being. 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 Australia and support emergency disaster relief efforts across the Asia-Pacific region. The majority of our financial support is donated to Barnardos and CareFlight, who run programs that benefit communities across Australia.

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.
