Children's Charity Nest

For many years, we have donated monies and goods across a wide range of charitable organizations. Each year the requests from charities grow and their dependence upon organizations like ourselves becomes more apparent. The Children’s Charity Nest was introduced to boost our involvement with organizations that focus on worthwhile children’s causes. The Children’s Charity Nest is an excellent way for employees of Baiada as well as the company itself to make a contribution that will make a difference to a child’s life.

As we recognize the importance of supporting community organizations, we have launched a fund where both the company and employees can jointly contribute to a group of nominated charities. The total amount raised by our employees is matched by the contribution made by Baiada. Information on the charities we have selected is listed below.

Lifestart

Lifestart began in 1996 to provide for the needs of the whole family where at least one child has an intellectual disability or developmental delay. Lifestart covers families from all socio-economic and cultural backgrounds and families actively participate in choosing a range of services from the Lifestart model that suits their own particular needs.

Lifestart helps special kids to reach their potential and become valued members of their community.

The Royal Children's Hospital Foundation

Is dedicated to helping sick and injured children receive the specialist care and attention they need. The aim is to provide the finest possible care for children and their families within the Royal Children's Hospital and District Health Service in Brisbane.

Camp Quality

Operates with the motto of ‘laughter is the best medicine’, and passionately believes in the power of fun in helping children with cancer and their families overcome the challenges that their illness brings. Money raised will help Camp Quality Victoria bring hope and happiness to children with cancer.

Autism SA

Autism SA's Early Development Program helps pre-school children with autism, which affects their ability to communicate, socialise and which is characterised by repetitive interests and habits. Fifty percent of these children will never achieve functional speech and seventy-five percent have an intellectual disability.
