Alison Covington AM, overcame a life-threatening illness to launch a not-for-profit that is not only helping millions of Australians every year, but also protecting the environment. Here, the Good360 Australia Founder & Managing Director shares her inspiring leadership journey, including how she is an accidental leader.
When Alison Covington AM received her Order of Australia in 2022 for significant service to social welfare and sustainability programs, it would have come as no surprise to those who knew her. For a decade, the inspirational MD of not-for-profit Good360 has been transforming the lives of 15,000 Australians a week thanks to her organisation’s incredible work. Since its formation, Good360 Australia has rescued $400 million RRP of unsold, brand-new goods from landfill, redistributing them to 4000 charities, who pass them on to people in need; and, following on from natural disasters, COVID, and the current cost-of-living crisis, the need is great.
Covington launched Good360 Australia after battling a rare, life-threatening illness. She was the successful Managing Director of an international transport company when a deadly inflammatory disease hit, bringing life as she knew it to a halt. When she made it through the other end several years later, Covington knew she’d been given a second chance for a reason: to use her skills and experience to help others.
