In The Community

Creating positive community impacts in the areas where we operate.

Social Investment

Community Partnerships

Through the provision of pro-bono services, mentoring, capacity-building activities and sponsorship, we're committed to creating positive change in our community and the not-for-profit and Indigenous organisations we partner with.

Our charitable initiatives focus on three core areas - mental health and wellness, care, and creating employment and opportunities for Indigenous people.

Who We Support

Community Partners

We've provided pro-bono services and mentoring to build the capacity of the following organisations:

Enterprise Partnerships

Enterprise Partnerships WA (EPWA) supports remote Indigenous communities in Western Australia by fostering local entrepreneurship as a means of economic and social empowerment. Through partnerships with community leaders and local groups, EPWA provides training, resources, and a framework to help launch and sustain First Nation-led businesses.

As part of our pro-bono services, Magnetic People reviewed current employment contract templates to ensure legal compliance, fairness, and alignment with company policies and objectives.

First Nation’s Foundation

Many Indigenous Australians are living in financial stress. First Nations Foundation provide culturally designed financial education and training that reflects the financial well-being priorities identified by Indigenous people and their communities.

We continue to support the First Nations Foundation CEO with generalist HR advice and support, including award, remuneration and policy reviews to ensure their team is well supported to deliver their essential community services.

Tidal Moon

Tidal Moon is a wild sea cucumber harvesting business that supplies the domestic market and resurrects a centuries-old trade route between Asia and Indigenous Australians. They're passionate about passing traditional knowledge from generation to generation and supporting social and cultural well-being by training and employing local Indigenous people.

Magnetic People facilitated the employment of local Indigenous people by providing employment contracts, award, remuneration and traineeship advice, TAFE liaison and corporate introductions in the industry for career pathways.

UWA Judo Club

The UWA Judo Club offers Judo classes for kids and adults, with family-friendly sessions held every Sunday. They aim to create a centre of excellence for judo that inspires youth development, nurtures individual well-being and stimulates community harmony. >

We support the club by providing general HR advice to board members to support the club's growth.

Hannah's House

Hannah’s House provides health and support services to children and young people aged from birth to 18 years with life-limiting and complex conditions. They focus on helping children and families live their best quality of life from diagnosis to recovery, bereavement, and beyond.

To support Hannah's House in its growth, we provided a People & Capability Strategy Framework, designed its organisational structure and developed leadership capability. We also transferred one of our staff members to their organisation as their permanent Head of HR.

Dogs Refuge Home

Every year, the Dogs Refuge Home takes in hundreds of dogs: those that have been badly abused and neglected, those that have been loved but can no longer be cared for, and those that are simply unwanted.

We supported Dogs Refuge Home with human resources services to manage and improve employee engagement and build leadership capability to enhance the employee experience, lower turnover, and attract great people.
