How do I donate?
Our Give Back program gives you the opportunity to donate to more than 400 charities pre-tax straight from your salary.
We make sure that every cent of your donation goes straight to your chosen charity so they can start putting your money to work. It doesn’t take much to make a difference and this site has hundreds of exciting ways you can support causes who could do with a little help.
Donating through the Give Back platform is a smart and simple way of giving back and helps your hard-earned dollars go further. It takes the hassle out of your annual tax return and gives you an immediate tax benefit so your donation costs you less.
The site is secure and easy to use and you can start, stop or change your donations or the projects you support whenever you like through your personal login.
Make a real difference.
How do I change or cancel the amounts that I am donating?
You can change your donation before the cut-off date for each pay cycle as often as you like. If you miss the cut-off date, your changes will be implemented in the next pay period.
The cut-off dates are displayed in your Workplace Giving tab in your account page. To visit My Account, simply click on your name in the top right hand corner.
It's easy to change or delete the amounts you are donating each pay:
· Log in to AECOM Give Back
· On the left hand side, select ‘Workplace Giving’
· Delete donations by clicking on rubbish bin
· If you are changing the amount you give, you will need to delete it and add the donation again.
How do I volunteer?
There are many ways that AECOM is built to deliver a better world.
AECOM in Australia and New Zealand has partnered with GoodCompany to provide us with access to charities for both pre-tax payroll donations and access to provide charities with a range of both skilled and hands on volunteering opportunities across more than 1,000 charities and community groups, for both individual and team volunteering.
Skilled volunteering is where you match your skills and interests to hundreds of volunteer opportunities.
Hands on volunteering includes roles like tree planting and cooking for the homeless.
There are many benefits to volunteering: making a real difference to your local community, developing and growing your skills and perhaps making new friends on the way!

How do I fundraise?
The Give Back platform makes it easy for you to create your very own fundraising page and get support from your workmates, friends and family.
You can fundraise for any registered charity you are passionate about – for charity sporting events like a marathon or bike ride, or set up a gift registry for charity instead of traditional wedding presents. It’s up to you how you choose to make a difference.
It’s really easy for people to donate and support you along the way. Your AECOM friends can make pre-tax donations straight from their salary to your cause while your friends and family outside AECOM can make donations via credit card.
Step up and make a difference.
