About Us

Community Resources is a national Aboriginal-led not-for-profit and registered charity. We operate some of Australia’s largest social enterprises that create jobs for people who need them most through work that cleans up, benefits and protects Country. We also deliver a range of place-based community services that address disadvantage and strengthen communities.

Last year we employed over 768 people, 67% of whom experienced barriers to employment, we kept over 20,000 tonnes of waste out of landfill; and we provided over 70,000 community service instances to those who need it most. We do this to make the world fairer and life better.
