Perks Community

Our Commitment to Community

At Perks, we are passionate about giving back and supporting the wider community. This is part of who we are and reflects our values and our South Australian roots.

We have a long history of giving back to the communities. Since our beginning in 1981, Perks has been actively involved in grassroots community initiatives, supporting causes that strengthen a vibrant and sustainable South Australia.

Our people are passionate about making a difference, whether that’s through volunteering their time, raising funds and awareness, or using their professional expertise to support organisations doing meaningful work. It’s how we live our values, not just talk about them.

KickStart For Kids
Since 2022, Perks has supported KickStart for Kids, a not‑for‑profit helping disadvantaged school children through programs such as the School Breakfast Program and Period Poverty Drive, which improves wellbeing, confidence and educational outcomes.

Partnerships

Partnerships that matter

We believe strong partnerships are built on shared values and mutual respect. That’s why we align ourselves with organisations that share our vision for growth and prosperity for the wider community.
Our partnerships are collaborative by nature – they’re about working together, contributing expertise, and creating outcomes that extend beyond individual organisations to benefit the broader community.
