A resilient response to Disaster Recovery
Good360 helps get the right goods, to the right people, at the right time throughout all stages of a disaster providing hope and dignity to communities adversely impacted.
Australia has experienced back-to-back disasters over the last few years and people who would not normally ask for help are now part of a new vulnerable community – the need is greater than ever before and demand is expected to continue to grow.
Good360’s approach to Disaster Recovery is strategic and sustainable providing a resilient response throughout all stages of a disaster. We use a coordinated and collaborative process partnering with over 450 Australian businesses who trust Good360 to provide the right goods where and when they are needed the most.
For families already hardest hit by COVID-19, the floods were the final straw that broke the proverbial camel’s back. But thanks to some generous donations from Good360 and businesses like BIG W, we have been able to provide vulnerable families with clothes and shoes.
We are there in the early days with personal care items, clothing, hygiene and PPE goods.
And importantly we are there for the long term when the media spotlight has dimmed, months and years after the event with goods to help rebuild lives including furniture and homewares. Communities trust we will stand with them because we know disasters are a marathon not a sprint.
Effective disaster recovery efforts face these challenges
of goods donated during times of disaster ends up in landfill or otherwise goes to waste
of giving is received within the first six weeks of a disaster
of disaster giving is designated for long-term recovery
Good360 and our partners rebuild communities
From initial impact until communities move into permanent homes, Good360 strives to get the right goods to the right people at the right time. To do this, we need passionate corporate partners who understand that rebuilding lives after a disaster is a long term commitment that could take years to complete.
Good360 and Winning Group companies through our partnership with Andoo supported not for profits during the Lismore / Northern Rivers Floods. By working together to create disaster resiliency and rebuild communities impacted by disasters, we are able to show communities we are standing with them through all stages of the disaster.
Our Approach to Disaster Recovery
The lifecycle of a disaster is a marathon, not a sprint and Good360 focuses on a six-phase disaster recovery framework for giving funds, goods and volunteer time during disasters: Readiness, Response, Recover, Rebuild, Refurnish and Revive. These five stages help businesses and everyday Australians understand where the need lies at any given time throughout a disaster’s lifecycle.
Readiness
Preparedness ahead of time helps to mitigate the impact of a disaster on communities.
Items: personal hygiene kits, clean-up kits, flood buckets, drinking water.
Response
In the immediate aftermath, the greatest concern is for the protection of life and property.
Items: nappies, blankets, respirators, disposal overalls, gloves.
Recover
This phase focuses on the clean-up and fixing damage brought on by the disaster.
Items: mops, buckets, shovels, tarps, cleaning supplies.
Rebuild
As survivors move beyond the recovery phase, the focus shifts to rebuilding homes, businesses and lives.
Items: insulation, flooring, plasterboard, roofing, tools, paint.
Refurnish
As displaced families move back, they often need to replace most or all of their household goods.
Items: furniture, appliances, rugs, sheets, towels, small appliances.
Revive
While this is the final stage of recovery, survivors often need support for months and years to get back to life as 'normal'.
Items: school supplies, clothing, toys, games, sporting equipment.

Our Nonprofit Partners
We live in a world of plenty. And yet, millions of people find themselves in critical need every day. At Good360, we know there’s more than enough to go around. That’s why we work hard to get donated goods where they can do the most good.
We act as the connectors between organisations with so much to give and communities in critical need, opening up new opportunities for all. Good360 amplifies the impact of donors and non-profit organisations, by connecting donations from some of Australia’s largest businesses to over 3,600 nonprofit partners.
Good360 is cause-agnostic, supporting the needs of all ACNC-registered charities and disadvantaged schools. Our Disaster Recovery work focuses on distributing products needed in all phases of disaster recovery – from preparedness right through to getting back to life as ‘normal’.
Over the past eight years, we have averaged a 20x amplification of funds. This means that $1 in funding allows us to distribute $20 of goods.

Case Studies and Past Campaigns
Since we began, Good360 has collaborated with businesses and Not for Profits to deliver goods to communities across Australia that were doing it tough with floods, drought, fire & covid.
There are many stages in the lifecycle of a disaster – the last one being the long-term return to everyday life. With the expense, trauma and disruption that come from dealing with a disaster, many families need assistance with items that help them in the comfort of everyday life for a long period after the first responders have left and the rebuild has occurred.
Good360 is there to provide relief during these times with everyday items like school supplies, work and school clothes, toys, crockery, games and shoes as well as special items like Christmas and birthday presents.
