Things we don't need

We have a special duty of care to our guests, because many of them suffer chronic health conditions. So we have a healthy eating policy and we comply with international food safety standards. This means we can only accept certain food donations.

Donations we can never accept

We hold a valid HACCP certification (Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points), which is internationally recognised as the most effective approach for managing food risks. To ensure the safety of our beneficiaries, we can only accept perishable foods that comply with Food Safety standards. If you have any doubts about the acceptability of your donation, please do not hesitate to contact us on +61 2 8572 4670.

  • No used clothes & bedding
