Community engagement
At BlueScope our local communities are our homes. We care for the environment, create wealth, respect local values, and encourage involvement. Our strength is in choosing to do what’s right.
Each year, BlueScope Western Port sponsors and donates funds, and our people volunteer their time to the local community. We are focused on supporting safety, environment, diversity, mental health and wellbeing, young people, and educational activities.
In financial year 2022, BlueScope Western Port contributed $46,212 to the local community via our sponsorship and donation program, plus provided our facilities to Mornington Peninsula organisations and charities at no cost.
Our employees also donate their own funds via our Workplace Giving Program. With their donations, the Point Leo Surf Life Saving Club purchased a side-by-side vehicle and funding went towards The Den Youth Program.
If your local community group wants to apply for a sponsorship and donation, please read our sponsorship and donation guidelines before completing the application form.
Some of the community groups we support are:
We support the Willum Warrain Aboriginal Association through a Gold Ochre sponsorship and many of our trees for Western Port site's tree planting activities are purchased from their Aboriginal community-run nursery.
We support Fit to Drive’s flagship program that offers Year 11 students tailored road safety education programs to help young people with their decision-making and risk assessment as a young road user.
Mental Health Safety Net is a local charity that provides suicide-prevention educational workshops to prepare community members over the age of 15 to become a suicide-alert helper.
The bi-annual Community Liaison Committee meetings have a long history starting back when the plant first became operational in the 1970s. The Committee aims to provide an opportunity to discuss and get feedback on topics such as the environment, employment opportunities and community activities.
Community stories
BlueScope Western Port supports the distribution of Starting School Packs to families of children in Hastings who will be entering Prep (now called Foundation) at any of the primary schools in the area.
Starting School Packs contain essential resources and are provided to families at school information evenings. The parents are shown the best way to use them with their child through October, November, December and January. By establishing this relationship before the child starts school, their educational journey receives a significant boost, helping them "jump start" their thirteen-year-long school experience.
BlueScope Western Port has supported the centre by assisting with roof and gutter repairs during FY23 and FY24.
Abacus Learning Centre was founded in 2008 by a group of dedicated parents and supporters who shared a vision to provide center-based early intervention services for autistic children.
Since the formation of the centre more than 700 families have received one-on-one therapy, typically over a two-year period, through an intensive process utilizing Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA).
Transition to work program
Young people are gaining meaningful employment at BlueScope with the support of the Transition to Work (T2W) program and the Brotherhood of St. Laurence.
