Every day, Vision Australia helps Australians who are blind or have low vision live life to the fullest. Through Workplace Giving, you can be part of that life-changing impact. By donating a small portion of your pre-tax pay, you’ll reduce your taxable income while providing essential services and support. If your employer matches your gift, you’ll make twice the difference.
How does workplace giving work?
You contribute a portion of your pre-tax salary to Vision Australia and receive the tax benefit straightaway, rather than waiting until the end of the financial year. For example, if you donate $25 per pay cycle, it will only cost you $16.87 but Vision Australia receives the full $25.
Why it matters
Your support helps provide vital services for children and adults who are blind or have low vision, including Seeing Eye Dogs, accessible technology, early intervention, education, independence, social inclusion and employment and more.
Vision Australia supports more than 40,000 people of all ages and circumstances with integrity and respect to live as independent as they choose.
