The Lott in the community

 

Giving back to Australian communities is in our blood here at The Lott. 

Over the years, if you’ve played our lottery games, you’ve helped contribute to your local community – from funding the building of hospitals to assisting disaster recovery efforts.

And while we all love a win, there’s something we love even more, and that’s giving back to our communities.

 

  

Our community pillars

Here at The Lott, we’re proud to support some amazing community partners working to make Australia a safer, healthier and better place.


 

Health

For more than a century, we’ve supported important health initiatives, like funding the construction of new hospitals and helping to deliver vital medical equipment. We are proud to continue this tradition today and into the future.



 

Research

From ground-breaking treatments to addressing climate change, we support several research programs dedicated to tackling some of the world’s biggest challenges.



 

Education

We fund several important education initiatives designed to help young Australians, such as those dedicated to keeping kids safe and increasing education in remote communities.



 

Environment and natural disasters

From disaster relief operations to preserving Australian wildlife, we’re committed to working with organisations devoted to looking after our environment.



 

Arts and culture

We’re honoured to invest in several initiatives that promote, develop and sustain Australia’s arts and cultural heritage.
