 Animal Welfare League NSW (AWL) is a non-profit, registered charity that has been caring for surrendered, neglected and abandoned animals for over 50 years. 



 AWL operates two animal welfare shelters where surrendered animals are cared for prior to adoption, a full service veterinary clinic and has 14 branches of active volunteers across NSW.
 In addition, AWL is authorised to investigate allegations of animal cruelty under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act. We have a team of 3 full time Inspectors that respond to reports of cruelty or neglect to animals across NSW.



 Our team of dedicated staff and volunteers work tirelessly to care for the animals in AWL shelters and to find them loving homes. All animals available for adoption are temperament assessed, vet checked, desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, wormed and flea treated. Importantly, we aim to match all adoptable animals with the lifestyle of potential owners to ensure a long and happy relationship for all. AWL animals are looking for Forever Homes.



 AWL receives next to no government funding (to cover just 2% of our welfare work) so we rely heavily on the generosity of the local community.

 The AWL is a non-profit, registered charity that does not receive any state or federal funding and we have been serving the Gold Coast region south-east Queensland since 1959. We rely heavily on the public, local businesses and our dedicated volunteers to help achieve our primary goal of achieving zero euthanasia of healthy and treatable cats and dogs. We believe by acting with integrity, innovation, initiative and optimism we can embrace a brighter future for all animals .



 Each year 12,000 abandoned, abused, sick, stray and surrendered animals arrive at our shelter. We take them all in and provide food, shelter, veterinary care; and with extreme diligence, work towards rehoming these deserving animals into permanent, loving homes. Once an animal comes into our care, it remains with us until the right home is found - there is no time limit. Prior to adoption, every animal is desexed, microchipped for future identification purposes, wormed, flea-treated and vaccinated. 



 Our goal of zero euthanasia of healthy, sociable dogs has been achieved and we are working tirelessly to achieve the same result with the cats in our care. We feel compassionate about the care of these animals, and are optimistic about our increasing rehoming rates and decreasing euthanasia rates.

Apex Australia began in Geelong, Victoria on March 10th 1931 
 during the 1930’s depression and was founded by Langham Proud, 
 Ewen Laird and Sir John Buchan.

At present over 400 Chartered Clubs operate in all States and 
 Territories across Australia. Those Clubs represent Apex Members 
 aged between 18 and 45 with a membership of approximately 4000 
 plus some 30,000 Senior Active and Life Members and approximately 
 350,000 past members who are indicative of the Association of 
 Apex Clubs throughout Australia.

Apex is an Australian made volunteer organisation proudly boasting 
 more than 75 years of service, assisting communities at home and 
 abroad. The symbol chosen for the Apex badge was an equilateral 
 triangle to represent that one aspect is not more important than 
 the other. The base represents the ideal of citizenship, with 
 the sides representative of the fun, the friendship and the service 
 provided by Apex members to those communities in need. This symbol 
 contains the rays of the sun rising to the peak of the apex, which 
 sell the standards to which Apexian’s aspire and that are the 
 “height of ambition”, with the rays symbolic of the rising generations 
 of youth. The word “Australia” recognises that we are the Association 
 of Apex Clubs of Australia, a homegrown association that holds 
 a unique position in Australia. Apex continues to organise and 
 meet the challenges presented by communities, which may not be 
 overcome by individuals, but can be addressed by individuals who 
 come together to achieve extraordinary things.

 Australia Zoo has a significant and impressive history in both implemention and delivery of conservation programs, including breeding programs, wildlife rescue and rehabilitation, habitat restoration and maintenance and wildlife research.



 Australia Zoo's work includes and extends beyond our own shores, and is currently actively involved in numerous international conservation programs, including working for the protection of cheetah in Africa and tigers and elephants across S.E Asia. We are excited and proud to be partnering with the Aussie Recycling Program (ARP) and Fauna & Flora International (FFI) to take action to help protect gorillas in central Africa. 



 Habitat destruction and poaching are just two of the factors driving this great ape to extinction. Coltan is a rare mineral that is used in the production of electronic devices, including mobile phones. Unfortunately, most of the world's coltan reserves are found in the same region as gorillas and the mining for this rare mineral is destroying their last remaining habitat. 



 By recycling your old mobile phones, not only are you reducing the demand for coltan but also helping to raise funds for Gorilla conservation.

The Australian Reptile Park and Wildlife Sanctuary was established in 1948 - by the late and great ERIC WORRELL, Australia's first naturalist - and is now regarded as one of the countries premier attractions. The Sanctuary is The only zoo in Australia committed to saving lives with a Venom-Milking Program in place for the past 50+ years, saving over 300 lives each year being the sole supplier of a variety of venoms, which is used for all snake and funnel-web anti-venom in Australia.



 The Australian Reptile Park is working with a range of zoos and government agencies in the fight to save the Tasmanian devil from extinction. 'Save the Tasmanian Devil Program' is a joint project between the Tasmanian government (Department of Primary Industries and Water) and the Australasian Regional Association of Zoological Parks and Aquaria (ARAZPA) to establish an insurance population of this iconic species on the mainland, while research continues in Tasmania aimed at addressing the problem on the ground. Declared endangered in May '08 due to the ravaging effects of a viral named Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD), which unfortunately is mutating at an alarming rate with over 9 different strains already recorded. To date more than 60% of Tasmania's devils have disappeared from the island.



 The Australian Reptile Park at present holds the largest population of devils on the mainland, having successfully bred 20 joeys in the past two years. The park self-funds this program relying entirely on funding the program through gate entry fees from visitors to the park. The program at the park costs approximately $150,000 per year to run (that equates to $3,000 per devil), the park is now launching a sponsorship program, along with a donation program with Foundation for Australia's Most Endangered Species (FAME). 



 The Australian Reptile Park is located at Somersby on Sydney's Central Coast, close to the Sydney-Newcastle Expressway, perfect to include with tours to Hunter Valley, Barrington Tops and Port Stephens. Less than one hour north of Sydney Harbour Bridge or south of Newcastle, we're the first stop on the 'new' Pacific Coast Touring Route after Sydney.

ausEE is a registered Australian charity dedicated to providing support and information to anyone diagnosed with or caring for someone with an Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorder (EGID) including Eosinophilic oEsophagitis (EE or EoE), Eosinophilic Gastritis, Eosinophilic Enteritis, Eosinophilic Colitis and Eosinophilic Gastroenteritis.

Eosinophilic oEsophagitis is the most prevalent of the Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorders, where there are a large number of eosinophils found in the oesophagus. Symptoms can vary greatly, depending on the area affected, but can include: nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal or chest pain, reflux that does not respond to usual treatment, difficulty swallowing, failure to thrive, poor appetite and food impaction.

Many of the children living with this disease are unable to eat most food and can be fed through a tube in their stomachs.  Endoscopy and biopsy is the ONLY way to confirm the diagnosis of EGID and EE.

ausEE has been hard at work since launching the website and is now officially an Australian Registered Non-Profit Organisation, endorsed to access tax concessions as a health promotion charity.

ausEE has also been endorsed by the Australian Tax Office as a deductible gift recipient.

ausEE's mission is to improve the lives of those affected by eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders by providing support and information and to campaign and raise funds for further research in Australia.

Australia’s leading
 mentoring program for young people supported by 100 years of
 international experience and expertise. Our name and logo are
 synonymous with quality program delivery and best practice
 worldwide.

Established in Australia in the
 late 1970’s, we provide disadvantaged young people, in need
 of additional support and friendship, with a caring mentor
 and positive role model. Our programs are based on the simplicity
 and power of friendship. Research has demonstrated that mentoring
 can empower young people to reach their potential, make positive
 changes in their behaviour, and build self-worth, trust and
 relationships at home and at school.

We believe all young people need to feel valued and
 important. Big Brothers Big Sisters’ community-based mentoring
 involves the development of a long-term one-to-one friendship
 between a volunteer mentor and young person aged 7 to 17 years;
 undertaking a range of simple and inexpensive activities according
 to interests and time. These may include a walk in the park,
 playing board games or basketball, baking a cake, going to
 a football match or building something together. Young people
 who spend time with a mentor gain confidence, self-esteem and
 new skills, whilst mentors experience a renewed sense of discovery,
 learning and enjoyment.

Facts about cerebral palsy:

 Cerebral palsy is a physical disability that affects the way that a person moves

 An Australian child is born with cerebral palsy every 15 hours. It is the most common physical disability in childhood.

 Cerebral palsy is caused by an injury to the developing brain, which usually occurs before birth.

 It is a lifelong condition, but its impact varies from person to person. It can be very mild - eg. a weakness in one hand - or more severe, where a person has almost no voluntary movement.

 There is no known cure and, for most people with cerebral palsy, the cause is unknown.

 25% of children with cerebral palsy are unable to walk and 60% have impaired speech. There are also a number of other conditions associated with cerebral palsy, including epilepsy and intellectual disability.

The creation of the Children's
 Leukaemia & Cancer Research
 Foundation (Inc.) was inspired by 9 year old Jennifer Harper,
 who was diagnosed with leukaemia in 1977. When her father, Peter
 Harper, discovered that there was no research into children’s
 leukaemia being done in WA, he set out to raise funds for this
 purpose.

Together with other parents of children with cancer and
 with the support of the children’s hospital, the Children’s Leukaemia & Cancer
 Research Foundation (Inc.) was formed. In 1983 the Children’s
 Leukaemia & Cancer Research Laboratory was established and
 in 1984 Dr Ursula Kees, a Swiss born scientist was recruited
 from the German Cancer Institute, to head up the Research Unit.
 Whilst Jennifer inspired the creation of the Foundation, she
 did not win her fight against leukaemia and died in 1978.

The
 Children’s Leukaemia & Cancer Research Foundation (Inc.)
 supports Professor Ursula Kees, our Principal Research Fellow,
 a Research Officer, and a Laboratory Assistant. It provides financial
 assistance to a Ph.D. Scholarship, laboratory consumables, maintenance
 and equipment for the Research Laboratory.

Without this support
 the Laboratory could not continue its life-saving research. In
 1998 the Foundation agreed to administer the 3 Boys Legacy charity
 as part of their cancer research program. 3BL was established
 in 1998 by three families who lost their 3 boys to brain tumours
 in 1996. The 3BL research into children’s brain cancer, in memory
 of Matthew Webb, Justin Ward and Ricky Wannberg, is being conducted
 by Dr Peter Dallas alongside Professor Kees and her research
 team.

 Coffs Harbour NSW 2450

The founder of CWON, Keshab Khanal, is a local of the Chitwan area and has been working tirelessly to help his community for over 15 years.



The Children’s Welfare Organisation of Nepal (CWON) is a Coffs Harbour-based charity, run in conjunction with the Southern Cross University Student Association (SCU SA). The primary aim of CWON is to raise funds for projects and to send student volunteers to assist villages in the Chitwan region of Nepal. We work in close collaboration with the Nepali branch of CWON. Through on-going consultation with Keshab and other Chitwan locals, we identify the needs of the villagers we seek to work with and ensure that the money we raise has maximum effectiveness. 



CWON's tireless charity work has saved tens of thousands of lives and has provided important infrastructure to villages all over the Chitwan region of Nepal. Much of CWON's recent work is focused on the village of Jutpani where eight hundred families displaced by floods, landslides and Maoist violence have settled. The majority of these families live well below the poverty line and must survive on just a few dollars per day, foregoing basic hygiene and healthcare.



The villagers’ income from casual work is less than $1 per day; they live, at best, in poverty, sometimes going for days without food. CWON together with the SCU SA has been working to help these people for approximately 6 years. This year we have constructed a deep water well that will provide water for domestic needs as well as growing food. Over the next 12 months we hope to establish a storage tank and irrigation system to enable the locals to make the best possible use of this water.



In addition to infrastructure support in Jutpani, CWON projects include a volunteer program for students to assist children and adults with health and hygiene training, improve education opportunites, and in conjunction with Nepali medical personnel assist in medical treatment for many endemic problems.

The Lions Medical Research Foundation
 was started in 1966 when they funded Dr. John Healy to research
 kidney disease at the Princess Alexandra in Brisbane.

In 1984
 Lions, through their fundraising, provided $1.2 million to
 build a research centre at the hospital. This provided a home
 for many researchers into life threatening diseases over the
 ensuing years with success. In 1981 Lions became involved in
 immunology. This research included tissue matching that is
 now used in all organ transplants. E.g. liver, kidney and bone
 marrow...

With the passing of time the researchers
 outgrew the building and with the erection of the new Princess
 Alexandra Hospital the Queensland Government dedicated an entire
 floor of the new building to the Lions Medical Research Foundation
 in recognition of their work in funding researchers over the
 years.

There have
 been many successes in many fields of research, Immunology,
 Opthalmology, Pharmacology, Cancer to name a few.

The
 most recent notable success was Lions Professor Ian Fraser
 whose team discovered the serum to prevent Cervical Cancer
 in women.

Research is carried out at the Royal Brisbane Women�'s
 Hospital into Perinatal problems with a Lions researchers being
 funded there. There is also an association with the Cord Blood
 at the Mater.

The Lions Medical Research Foundation
 provides seed funding to researchers who have ideas for research
 into medical problems. Lions funding enables them to carry
 out research to a point that when some success becomes apparent
 the can obtain more funding from other interested bodies like
 drug companies etc.

With a mission statement of:




"The Lions Medical Research Foundation
 is committed to successfully improving the standard of health
 in the community by providing long term medical research funding
 for those who would otherwise be neglected. This effort will
 be underpinned through valuable and worthwhile support of the
 Lions Miss Personality Quest, and by generating significant
 awareness to Lions Clubs, and the general public."




With a commitment of over $ 250,000 a year and growing the
 Lions Medical Research Foundation’s support will continue into
 the future.

Since 1956 The National Trust of Australia (Victoria) has been actively working towards conserving and protecting our heritage for future generations to enjoy. The National Trust is not part of Government. It is an independent non-profit organisation, supported by a large community and voluntary base. It is the premier heritage and conservation organisation in the State, and the major operator of house museums and historic properties open to the public.


 Operating many significant properties across the State, including Rippon Lea House and Gardens, Polly Woodside, the Old Melbourne Gaol, Como House and Garden, the Trust works with local councils, businesses and communities to strengthen heritage protection, increase community involvement in heritage conservation and arrest creeping heritage destruction. 



 Had it not been for the actions of the Trust over the past half-century, heritage legislation may have arrived too late to conserve the heart of Marvellous Melbourne, its suburbs and the many regional towns so vital to Victoria's character. The Trust has classified thousands of significant places throughout the State, it has acquired more than 70 heritage buildings and places and continues to manage over 50, providing Victorians with a unique insight into their proud history. 



 We inspire the community to appreciate, conserve and celebrate our past, present and future through unique and engaging visitor experiences and attractions. We see a future of heritage places across Australia integrated to create a remarkable journey of discovery through vibrant historic houses and flourishing gardens, enabling new generations of enthusiasts to better understand and celebrate the achievements our past.

Set amongst lush gardens with naturalistic exhibits that closely replicate the animals' native habitats from all around the world, Perth Zoo is committed to making a lasting contribution to conservation by supporting projects that will secure long term populations of species in natural environments.



 2009 has been dubbed the International year of the Gorilla, and Perth Zoo has joined with the Jane Goodall Institute Australia on a campaign called "They're Calling On You" aimed at saving gorillas and other species by asking you to donate your old and unused mobile phones. Mobile phones contain a rare and valuable metal called columbite-tantalum, or coltan. The richest deposits of coltan in the world are found in the Congo, in the dense, pristine habitats of the critically endangered Eastern Lowland Gorilla. Coltan mining is not only destroying the habitats of endangered gorillas but driving their active destruction.



 "They're Calling On You" is a simple yet effective way people can take action for primate conservation.

 Our aim is to tap in to existing recycling programs and establish a one stop recycling initiative for our community. Community members bring their recyclable goods to our church on a regular basis. We take a wide range of goods - computers, batteries, craft materials, cds, bikes, glasses & hearing aids and mobile phones and deliver them to existing recycle organisations.
 For more information go to www.riverflow.com.au/peacesite_003.htm.



 Funds raised from our recycling program are circulated back as donations for our peace projects.

Riverina And District Animal Rescue or RADAR is a "not for profit" organisation located in, and servicing the Riverina area of NSW. We rescue and rehome pound animals in danger of being euthanised. The animals are fostered by volunteers who include them in their normal household and family activities. Fostered animals are health and temperament assessed, micro chipped, vaccinated wormed, flea treated and desexed prior to being settled into a "forever home". We receive no government funding, and if often falls to the volunteers themselves pay for the animals' food and care. Animals are re-homed all over Australia and it is gratifying to realise that these animals are given a second chance at a happy home through the efforts of the RADAR volunteers.

RADAR members and volunteers are a group of people from many walks of life that have come together with the one purpose - to help companion animals in need. Started in 2006 with only a couple of animal lovers wanting to help, it has grown into a group that has carers all over the Riverina Area and beyond. Many have been involved with animals for many years and have a wealth of knowledge and experience behind them. 
 RADAR members encourage responsible pet ownership, and support the education of the public on adequate care and housing, training, vaccination, micro-chipping, registering and de-sexing of their pets. RADAR members believe in the de-sexing of all pet cats and dogs. This prevents the continuous cycle of unwanted and homeless pets in our community.


RADAR's mission is to rescue animals from pounds or other situations where they are at risk of euthanasia, and have these animals temperament assessed, vet checked and prepared to go into homes as companions. The preparation process includes, but is not limited to, worming and health issues, temperament adjustment as required, basic training, flea and other parasitic control, vaccination, micro-chipping and de-sexing, all done with the support of our local vets. On average it takes two weeks to have an animal ready to go to his or her new family.

Riverina And District Animal Rescue Inc members were very honoured to receive an Australia Day Award in the Groups and Organizations category at the Narrandera Australia Day Awards ceremony. This is a huge accolade for us. We have tireless volunteers who put in many hours, and they often find that it takes over their lives at times and this recognition makes it all so very worthwhile.

The Taronga Conservation Society Australia includes Taronga Zoo in Sydney and Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo. 



 The Taronga Conservation Society Australia has an absolute commitment to the conservation of wildlife. It's primary objectives are to facilitate visitor and community education leading to improved community awareness and activity, and biological research for wildlife conservation. 



 With more than 1.5 million visitors each year the zoos aim is to show their visitors that it is them and their actions that can make the greatest difference to support wildlife and their habitats. 



 In 2009, Taronga Conservation Society Australia, joined Melbourne Zoo to partner with the Australian Recycling Program (ARP) and the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) to take action against the coltan mining crisis. The western world's reliance on mobile phones is driving Mountain Gorilla's and many other species towards extinction. Coltan is a rare and valuable mineral that is an essential part of all mobile phones. 80% of this mineral is currently mined throughout Africa, destroying the last remains of suitable Mountain Gorilla habitat. By donating your mobile phones for recycling to Taronga Zoo you can take action against this crisis and make a difference for endangered primates that are calling on you!

Xavier Children's Support Network provides support to families with children between the ages of 0 and 16 years who have complex support needs arising from a combination of physical, sensory and intellectual disabilities.


Xavier accepts referrals from families residing within a 35km radius of Brisbane's central business district (CBD) who require special care to live at home with their family.


Each family accepted into the organisation is assigned a Keyworker who assist the family to identify their needs and make decisions about the kinds of supports and resources, which will maintain and strengthen the family's ability to care for their child.


The family is assisted by the Keyworker to develop a 'package of support' which meets the identified needs of the child and family at the present time and ensures that supports remain flexible as needs change.


Xavier's services can assist with:


• Registered nurse and therapy support
• In-home and out-of-home respite
• In-home support
• Direct family payments/brokerage
• Beachcomber family retreats
• Supports for Children In Care
• Kids Club
• Family Support Facilitation
