South East Water provides employees two days paid volunteer leave each year whereby staff participate in voluntary work for not-for-profit organisations in our community.

As a gold supporter of Melbourne Cares, South East Water fosters mutually beneficial and sustainable partnerships within the private and public non-profit sectors.  

This is achieved by offering a wide range of flexible employee volunteering and community investment opportunities which are meaningful, accessible and fun.

In the past year our employees have contributed more than 700 hours of in-kind community work. The work carried out by our volunteers is varied and includes indoor and outdoor activities.
