ADOPT A PATCH

Join thousands of caring Australians who are passionate about keeping our communities clean, green and a more beautiful place to live.

Adopt a Patch provides your organisation with information, training, support and resources to improve your local environment. We work with each organisation to tailor a program that suits the needs of individual sites and communities.

CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY

The Adopt A Patch Program is a fantastic way for organisations to engage their employees in team building activities that are also great for the environment and will improve the community in which they work.

Through this program, you’ll boost your company’s corporate volunteering and community investment initiatives.
