Staff Giving Program

Make a difference through staff giving

At Southern Cross University, we see every day the difference education and research can make in people’s lives. It is that shared belief in opportunity, equity and impact that sits at the heart of our Staff Giving Program.

Our Staff Giving Program provides a simple and meaningful way for staff to contribute directly to the areas of the University and the wider community that matter most to them. Whether through a one-off donation, regular payroll giving, or the contribution of time and expertise, staff can support students, research and priority initiatives that change lives and strengthen our community.

Contributions help support students facing financial and personal barriers through initiatives such as the Student Opportunities or Hardship Fund, assist early career researchers and PhD candidates to continue their work, and strengthen priority areas including research and the National Centre for Naturopathic Medicine.

We recognise that meaningful giving extends beyond financial contributions to the sharing of our time, skills, and experience. By engaging in volunteering and community service, staff can forge deeper professional connections and foster personal development while providing vital support to those in need. 

This is a program built on collective impact. Many staff already contribute in different ways across the University, and this initiative provides another way to come together with shared purpose, helping ensure more students and the wider community can access education, thrive in their studies, and realise their potential.
