Become a UNICEF Australia Workplace Giver, where every donation, big or small, helps change the lives of children around the world.
UNICEF Australia’s workplace giving program offers a simple yet powerful way for you to make a difference in the lives of children in need. By making regular pre-tax donations through your employer’s payroll, you can contribute to our vital work and help change lives, especially in times of crisis.
With the flexibility to choose your donation amount, giving has never been easier. Plus, contributions are automatically deducted pre-tax, maximising the impact of your support. Often, donations are matched by employers, doubling or even tripling our impact.
Join us in advocating for the rights of every child and amplifying the voices of young people. Your participation in our workplace giving program can truly make a world of difference.
Double your impact
Workplace giving is not just about individual contributions; it’s also about fostering a culture of collective impact. Employers can match their employee donations dollar for dollar or with another nominated amount. This demonstrates your company’s commitment to making a difference in the lives of children in need.

What are the tax benefits of being a Workplace Giver for employees?
Workplace giving allows you to support charities that are meaningful to you while receiving an immediate tax benefit instead of waiting until the end of the financial year.
- It’s all organised by your payroll, so there is no upkeep or administration on your behalf.
- It eliminates the need to collect receipts and wait until the end of the financial year to claim tax back.
- Your donation is pre-tax, so it will cost you less than the amount we receive from your organisation. Your employer may also match your contribution.
- Regular giving makes planning easier so we can make the most of every dollar we receive to help ensure that the world’s children are fed, vaccinated, educated, and protected.
