Geelong Arts Centre - Community Sponsorship program
Community sponsorship
Present a sponsorship opportunity to WorkSafe for an event or activity that supports our objectives. Applications are reviewed four times each year.
Our program
WorkSafe's Community Sponsorship program complements our public awareness campaigns and corporate sponsorship portfolio, providing a tangible link with the community.
Through sponsorship WorkSafe aims to:
- raise awareness of, and increase positive regard for, WorkSafe with target audiences
- build stronger relationships with the community in support of WorkSafe's role to help achieve WorkSafe's vision and mission: Reducing workplace harm and Improving outcomes for injured workers.
- inform the community and increase knowledge about WorkSafe's strategic messages
WorkSafe's Corporate Sponsorship portfolio comprises partnerships with AFL Victoria Country, Victorian Country Netball, Melbourne Vixens and the Western Bulldogs Community Foundation.
Due to these existing partnerships, there is limited funding available for sporting clubs and they are discouraged from applying for a community sponsorship.
