Workplace Giving
The Workplace Giving program is a community partnership between the Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter Service, businesses and their employees to ensure the continued operation of the Helicopter Service.
Employees nominate an amount to be deducted from their regular pay which is donated to the Service.
The program’s success is based on the number of employees contributing small amounts over time and the fact that small amounts from a pay packet are rarely missed, and the total amount each year is tax deductible.
In many situations employers match employees donations, thus doubling the support given to the Service and increasing their own profile in the community. Workplace Giving is a stress - free way for employees to make regular, tax deductive donations to the Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter Service. All employees need to do is complete one form and specify the donation amount each pay period. There is no obligation and the employee can alter the amount deducted or withdraw at any time.
To support the Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter through Workplace Giving please download the Workplace Giving Form and forward to your payroll department where they will deduct the specified amount from your pay and forward to the Service. At the end of the financial year, employees are able to claim a tax deduction for the total amount donated.
