Sustainable Communities

As a family business, family values of care, compassion and help are the principles on which we operate, and we believe that these principles are at the core of building sustainable communities both internally and externally. We actively engage with and financially support worthy causes that align with our values.

We believe these causes do admirable work towards building a more sustainable future for communities and elevating the circumstances of people within them. We recognise that our people are contributors to the communities in which they live, and we strive to provide opportunities for them to grow and prosper.

As a family business, family values of care, compassion and help are the principles on which we operate, and we believe that these principles are at the core of building sustainable communities both internally and externally.

Internally, we strive to create and maintain a work environment where everyone has an equal opportunity to grow and prosper. We invest in our people through programs such as our ‘Training Thursday’, a focus session within work hours dedicated to training and development completely funded by FastAid. We are community focused people who often take work time to engage in charitable initiatives in the wider community, and it is this spirit of generosity and thankfulness which the team thrives on. We believe that ‘giving back’ what we can, whether it be our time or financial support to charities give us a sense of purpose and fulfilment.

Externally, our charitable organisation of choice which we financially support is Rapid Relief Team, an organisation inspired by community spirit and the gift of giving, serving people with care and compassion in their time of need. We also financially support PCYC (Police Citizens Youth Clubs NSW), a charity that helps youth to survive and thrive in partnership with NSW Police. As a team we are also excited to participate in Clean Up Australia events, supporting their cause to inspire and empower communities to clean up, fix up and conserve our environment.

We thrive on a spirit of generosity. As an organisation FastAid is committed to contributing 4% of annual profits directly back into charitable causes. We are excited to be a part of and support causes that are doing their bit towards stronger and more sustainable communities.

Rapid Relief Team (RRT)

FastAid is excited to be part of the RRT, generously supporting their cause as part of our 4% annual profit allocation for charitable support. Members of our team use both work and personal time to engage in RRT initiatives as part of our effort to give back to communities in need.

Inspired by community spirit and the gift of giving, the Rapid Relief Team (RRT) serves people with care and compassion in their time of need.

RRT offers quality catering assistance and tangible support to charities, government and emergency services confronting some of humankind’s greatest challenges. RRT adapts their benevolent support services to meet the need at hand. Whether it be fire, drought or even a global pandemic, RRT volunteers bring hope to people in their time of need.

RRT Fire Relief

Beyond serving firefighters food and refreshments on the front line, RRT launched two new initiatives (Rapid Water Systems and Operation Fire Relief) to assist Australia’s firefighting efforts, and to help families who lost everything in Australia’s 2019/2020 catastrophic bushfire season.

Rapid Water Systems was designed and engineered to rapidly pump water from previously inaccessible water sources to the fire front, filling four large firetrucks in less than three minutes. This innovative initiative allowed firefighters to spend more time on the front line, and less time finding water sources. Impressively, 4.5 million litres of water pumped in 6 weeks!

Operation Fire Relief was designed to bring fire ravaged communities together, and support families who lost their home to the bushfires by donating a $1,000 Eftpos gift card, RRT Food Boxes, and Cookie the Kookaburra to children affected. 682 families were generously gifted a $1,000 Eftpos gift card.

RRT Drought Relief

FastAid is registered on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (TGA) to guarantee that we are committed to only the highest standard of product and provide peace of mind that we only engage contraction production facilities that are compliant and certified to ISO13485 and EC Certificates Directive 93/42/EEC.

RRT Food Boxes

Whilst we have comprehensive and proven internal systems, it is important we can provide the guarantee to all stakeholders that we perform to global benchmarks for quality and environmental standards.

PCYC (Police Citizens Youth Clubs NSW)

FastAid is pleased to financially support PCYC (Police Citizens Youth Clubs NSW), a charity that helps youth to survive and thrive in partnership with NSW Police, as part of our 4% annual profit allocation for charitable support. We believe the youth are the potential of tomorrow.

PCYC NSW is a registered charity, who’s mission is to empower young people to reach their potential through Police and community partnerships.

With over 65 clubs across the state, PCYC provides quality activities and programs in a safe, fun and friendly environment.

The aim of PCYC is to engage with, and positively influence their 70,000+ youth members through mainstream sport, recreation, education, leadership and cultural programs.

In addition, the PCYC work with at-risk youth to break the cycle of disadvantage through crime prevention, vocational education, youth capacity building and social responsibility programs to change the life outcomes of over 1500+ youth per year.

We also donate first aid kits to PCYC for use in their clubs.

Clean Up Australia

As a team we are excited to participate in Clean Up Australia events, supporting their cause to inspire and empower communities to clean up, fix up and conserve our environment.

What was started thirty years ago, by an “average Australian bloke” who had a simple idea to make a difference in his own backyard has now become the nation’s largest community-based environmental event.

Over the past three decades, Clean Up Australia has evolved into an organisation that works with community, government and businesses to provide practical solutions to help us all live more sustainably every day of the year. Today their focus is as much on preventing rubbish entering our environment as it is removing what has already accumulated.

FastAid engages in the annual Business Clean Up Day event where our team takes work time to get involved in a local clean up, whilst also financially supporting Clean Up Australia.
