Contributing to Our Community

Supporting the Local Community

At Hillery Group, we’re avid sponsors and supporters of the local community in Bowen and surrounding areas. Our company is 100% committed to preserving and enhancing local organisations and bringing people together. Throughout the years, we have donated advanced equipment, durable building materials, as well as our labour to local community groups. We are committed to building on our stellar reputation for helping Bowen thrive.

Our professionals support local schools, organisations and events through our corporate social involvement program. During our sponsorship of the Bowen Turf Club’s 2021 season, we organised an event for our clients and staff in the Hillery Group Marquee, as well as attended the Whitsunday Gala Cup dinner. Our very own Luke and Liam were lucky enough to present the Whitsunday Cup to the winner!

In recent years, our professionals donated products, equipment and labour to the Bowen State School. Additionally, we sponsored a playground for the school in 2020. The ‘thank you’ notes we received from the children are proudly displayed at our workplace.

At Hillery Group, we are passionate about continually supporting local charities and community groups across the wider North Queensland Region. In 2019, along with the various local community and sporting groups, we became proud sponsors of RACQ CQ Rescue and the Ronald McDonald House.

Hillery Group encourages applications from local community groups and
organisations that deliver outcomes for the broad community, particularly
in the following areas:

Health
Youth
Education
Environment
Community Clubs or Groups
Socio-economic or dependent groups, companies or associations
Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander groups or organisation
Sporting clubs from junior to senior
High Influencer organisations

We review each application and award based on our selection criteria and
ensuring that we have synergies that benefit both parties.

Providing Local Opportunities

Our company is 100% Indigenous owned, employing over 70 people to serve the Whitsunday region. We are committed to investing in ongoing training and employing local people is our top priority.

With our business located on the traditional lands of the Juru people, we have previously worked with Girudala, Juru, and Kyburra inhabitants. More than 15% of our workforce are of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander decent. We are continuously creating more opportunities for a higher intake of indigenous employees in our region.

Our company recruits young apprentices and trainees from local communities regularly. Where possible, we offer long-term jobs to those who complete our meticulous training process. We work with local subcontractor fleets and suppliers; and will always source and purchase locally whenever possible to help support the Central Queensland economy.

Our Local Partnerships

We at Hillery Group are extremely passionate about engaging local businesses and supporting the community.

Hillery Group has recently introduced the “KEEP IT LOCAL” Initiative.

We have partnered with the following businesses in support of our Keep It Local Initiative Campaign where discounts and benefits are passed on to all staff members and contractors who shop locally within our community.
