Who is Good360?
At Good360 we're
Bringing Good Together
Our mission is to ensure the excess goods and services businesses produce every year flow to people in need, rather than going to waste and stressing people, communities and the planet.
As Australia’s largest online marketplace for businesses to donate spare and excess goods, we partner with some of Australia’s leading brands and retailers to source essential goods and distribute them throughout Australia via our network of diverse not-for-profits and disadvantaged schools, supporting people in need.
Why donate to Good360?
Australians are doing it tough
Communities and schools are in critical need of regular household goods like computers, electronics, clothing, cleaning goods, hygiene, personal care items, educational supplies, manchester, furniture and more. Industry has a surplus of more than $2.5 billion dollar’s worth of these exact same items, every year, which are wasted or end up in landfill.
Over 450 companies have donated to Good360 to support Australians doing it tough and to help resolve important business challenges.
Social Impact
Helping communities by connecting them to a pre-vetted network of over 3,600 charities and disadvantaged schools, all supported through one point of contact
Risk Mitigation
Good360 conducts compliance checks to ensure donations are used as intended and goods aren't sold or misused - protecting your brand's integrity.
Business Impact
Demonstrate leadership and increase employee engagement through responsible business practices and authentic and credible corporate social responsibility (CSR).
Economic Advantages
Donating goods may have financial benefits over other disposal options as well as potentially reducing warehousing costs.
Operational Ease
Improve your operational efficiencies as Good360 makes donation simple - no matter the donation size.

Managed Program
Development and execution of a custom giving and donation program to meet your specific business needs.
Getting the Goods
Moving
Donating goods is not the only way to help communities across Australia, we have generous partners who also donate storage, logistics, media, legal and much more.
Transport costs are the biggest barrier to helping our charities and disadvantaged schools receive the goods they desperately need to help their communities during natural disasters and during challenging times including the pressures of the cost-of-living crisis. Generously we have received support from DHL, Northline & Cochranes to deliver goods by the pallet at no cost to these areas across Australia, there are still many areas we are not reaching.
Help needed – If you are a transport company and you can help, especially in regional NSW, QLD, VIC and ACT and you want to Join the Circle of Good and support Australian communities, please contact us today.
Without DHL’s support, Cire would not be able to accept Good360 donations for people most in need. Cire would be unable to cover the prohibitive cost of transport, injecting any available funds back into the community through its core operations of Cire Community School for at-risk youth, Cire Children’s Services, Cire Community Hubs and Cire Training.

Deloitte Report uncovers the size of the problem.
A research report commissioned by Good360 Australia and conducted by Deloitte Access Economics has for the first time calculated the quantum of wasted goods in Australia each year.
While it is a tiny percentage of the overall supply chain, it is a huge number at $2.5 billion per year.
