Children's Hospital Foundations Australia

Children's Hospital Foundations Australia ("CHFA") is a national partnership of uniquely child-focused Foundations supporting leading paediatric hospitals.

CHFA's vision is to end the suffering of sick children.  Its mission is to support initiatives that generate breakthrough treatments and cures to make a difference in the lives of sick and terminally ill children. Each of the member Hospitals drive dynamic medical research programs that aim to find new treatments and cures for childhood disease.

Super Cheap Auto Group supports CHFA in various ways:

• Team Members in Australia have the opportunity to participate in workplace giving - making pre-tax donations from their weekly pay.
• Income derived from the Company from other activities such as industry survey participation or speaking engagements is donated to the Foundation.
• Each Christmas, an internal raffle of accumulated gifts from suppliers is held at the Lawnton Support Office.  There are over 250 Team Members at Support Office and this initiative is well supported by all.  The funds raised are donated directly to the Foundation.

Heart Children - New Zealand

In 2009, Super Cheap Auto Group joined with Heart Children New Zealand to help support children with heart conditions and their families within New Zealand.

• Wesley Research Institute (QLD)
• Royal Children's Hospital Foundation (QLD)
• Women's and Children's Hospital (SA)
• Telethon (WA)

Tony McGuiness, director of the foundation recently recognised the role Supercheap Auto has played in assisting MMF.

"We are indebted to the management and staff of Supercheap Auto for their enthusiastic and generous support of these games throughout Australia and New Zealand. They can all share in the knowledge that seriously ill children are receiving better care through their philanthropic support".

This year Supercheap Auto will again be "on board" with a further two games planned for launch.

Supercheap Auto Safe Driving

The Supercheap Auto - Driving Home Road Safety campaign is a landmark, 100% not-for-profit, road safety campaign aimed at improving motorists' driving habits and doing our bit to help reduce the country's road toll.

The campaign is structured in three ways:

1. A series of 6 community service television commercials produced and aired in partnership with the Seven Network, starring V8 Supercar driver, Russell Ingall.
2. DriveSafe practical driving course available at-cost to customers in South-East Queensland (proposed for national roll-out in 2009). This is also made available free-of-charge to all Team Members with company vehicles.
3. A comprehensive website explaining all of the driving tips and technique information taught in the DriveSafe course.

By delivering a consistent, unified message to all Australian motorists, Supercheap Auto is raising the bar for road safety and giving back to the community to help make our roads safer for all motorists.

BCF,  official community partner of the Queensland SES

In March 2009, BCF entered into a three year community sponsorship agreement with Volunteer State Emergency Services (SES) Queensland.

The three-year agreement will play an important role in raising awareness of the Service through actively encouraging volunteering and donations through BCF's extensive customer network of 22 retail outlets and playing host to local SES fundraising, demonstrations and recruitment events.
