Good360 Australia Ltd
Connecting charities, schools & society's most vulnerable with businesses willing to donate unsold or surplus goods.
Our Story
Every year in Australia, $2.5 billion of unsold household goods are wasted and 1 in 8 Australians are living below the poverty line. Good360 Australia exists to reduce this need and waste by connecting businesses brand new unsold goods to people in need, creating a Circle of Good, where everyone benefits.
Why it started
Alison Covington AM found out about Good360 in the USA in 2012 and thought it was a game changer. There were lots of charities rescuing food in Australia, but no organisation was saving unsold brand-new goods, at scale, from going to waste. Good360 had been operating in the US for 30 years at that stage and had connected $7 billion of new goods to people in need. Why didn’t we have the same solution here in Australia? Alison knew she had to start Good360 Australia and connect the spare brand-new goods of business with vulnerable Australians who need them most.
About the USA
In 2013 Alison went to the US to collaborate with Good360 and bring the model back to Australia. Good360 US works with leading retailers and brands including Amazon, The Home Depot, Disney, United Airlines, and Nike just to name a few. The scale and efficiency of the model was tried and proven over 30 years. In 2013 Good360 US was connecting $300 million of goods to people in need, in 2023 they are forecast to connect $2.5 billion!
