About us

Community Resources is a national not-for-profit community development organisation. We exist to create jobs that make communities better.

To do this, we run three environmental repair social enterprises – Green Connect, Soft Landing and Resource Recovery Australia; as well as a range of community services.

Last financial year we employed 599 people, across NSW, ACT, VIC, QLD and WA, 77% of whom joined us when experiencing barriers to employment. These jobs cared for people and planet, and through this work we kept 14,072 tonnes of waste out of landfill, grew and distributed 35,250 kilograms of fair food, and provided 42,684 instances of community service to individuals.
