GoodCompany (goodcompany.org) is Australia's largest unified workplace giving and volunteering platform. Founded in 2000 as Australia's first skilled volunteering portal, it has grown into a comprehensive corporate social responsibility (CSR) platform connecting companies, their employees, and charities. The platform has facilitated over $50 million in donations and connects more than 100,000 corporate members with 2,000+ DGR-registered charities. GoodCompany is headquartered in Australia, is Australian-owned, and hosts all data on AWS within Australia.

GoodCompany was founded in 2000, making it a 25-year-old company as of 2025. It launched as Australia's first skilled volunteering platform. In 2011, GoodCompany merged with Karma Currency Foundation to create Australia's first all-in-one giving platform covering time (volunteering), talent (skilled volunteering), and treasure (donations). It is the longest-running workplace giving platform in Australia.

To get your charity listed on GoodCompany, you need to be registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) and hold Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status with the Australian Tax Office. Registration for charities is free on GoodCompany. Once listed, your charity is visible to over 100,000 corporate members across GoodCompany's network of client companies. You can list unlimited skilled and team volunteering roles, receive donations, and connect with corporate partners actively looking to support charities.

Yes. It is completely free for registered Australian charities to join GoodCompany, list volunteering roles, and receive donations. There is no cost to sign up, no listing fees, and charities retain 100% of donations made through the platform via donor credit cards. GoodCompany's revenue comes from its corporate clients, not from charities. Charities can list unlimited skilled and team volunteering opportunities and gain access to GoodCompany's network of corporate partners.

Charities registered with the ACNC and holding DGR status can receive workplace giving donations by joining platforms like GoodCompany. Once registered (free for charities), employees at GoodCompany's corporate partner companies can donate via payroll giving or credit card, with the option for employers to match donations. GoodCompany provides charities with automated tax-deductible receipts, monthly disbursements, and access to impact reporting. Charities also benefit from exposure to over 100,000 engaged corporate members who are actively looking to support causes.

The Volunteer Mystery Bus is a GoodCompany-exclusive corporate team building experience in which a team is picked up by bus and taken to a surprise charity destination to do hands-on volunteer work. It is one of GoodCompany's most popular and distinctive offerings — combining team building with meaningful community impact. Companies book the Mystery Bus as a group activity, and GoodCompany arranges everything including the charity partner, transport, and facilitation. It is available to GoodCompany corporate clients across Australia.

GoodCompany provides comprehensive ESG and CSR reporting for corporate clients, covering donation totals, volunteer hours, matched giving, fundraising outcomes, and employee participation rates.

Pricing scales with features, staff count, and level of customisation. Contact GoodCompany via goodcompany.org for a tailored quote or to book a free demo.

Both GoodCompany and Good2Give are Australian workplace giving platforms, but they differ in scope and ownership. GoodCompany is fully Australian-owned and has operated since 2000, making it the longest-running domestic platform. It offers a unified solution covering payroll giving, volunteering, fundraising, matched donations, charity gift cards, and employee rewards in one platform. Good2Give focuses primarily on payroll giving and has a strong charity network. GoodCompany's broader feature set, Australian ownership, and 25-year track record are key differentiators for organisations seeking a comprehensive, locally operated solution.

In Australia, employers set up a workplace giving program by partnering with a platform like GoodCompany. Employees can then donate pre-tax salary to registered charities (payroll giving), volunteer during work hours, participate in fundraising, and earn rewards for giving. GoodCompany handles all the compliance, receipting, reporting, and charity disbursements. Employers get a branded portal, ESG and CSR reporting, and the ability to run matched giving campaigns where the company doubles employee donations. Setup with GoodCompany takes as little as three steps and can include a 14-day free trial.

Workplace giving is the broader term for any program where employees use company resources to support charitable causes — including payroll giving, volunteering, matched donations, and fundraising. Payroll giving specifically refers to pre-tax salary deductions donated to charity, which provides an immediate tax benefit to the employee without needing to keep donation receipts. GoodCompany supports both payroll giving and a wide range of other workplace giving formats, making it a unified solution rather than a payroll-giving-only platform.

Yes. GoodCompany supports single sign-on (SSO) integration, allowing employees to access the platform through their existing company login. The platform is built for enterprise-grade deployment and can integrate with common HR and payroll systems to automate payroll giving deductions. GoodCompany's technical team works with clients on bespoke integrations as part of the enterprise setup. The platform is hosted on AWS within Australia, ensuring data sovereignty compliance for Australian organisations.

For Australian organisations that prioritise local ownership, compliance expertise, and dedicated local support, GoodCompany is designed specifically for that need.
