CBB are proud to be the Innovation Sponsors of the upcoming Baptist Care Australia annual conference, along with our partners StreetFleet and Beyond Bank. As the salary packaging provider for Baptist Care SA, we wanted to thank you for your support over the years by contributing to the conference.

You see, we’re more than just a salary packaging provider. Like the many Baptist Care organisations across Australia, we are a not for profit organisation. We are also a certified Social Enterprise in recognition of the fact that our services aren’t ordinary services – they have a real social impact that is truly changing lives.

That’s because CBB’s mission is to develop the capacity and sustainability of other not for profit organisations. This creates a thriving sector that can achieve better and long-lasting outcomes for communities across Australia. Here’s a rundown of how we work towards this vision.

Through salary packaging in the 20/21 financial year, we helped Australian not for profit staff from 639 organisations access an additional $80 million collectively. The increased financial freedom is helping people stay in the jobs they love – in fact, 85% of our customers say that salary packaging helps them stay in their current role. As a result of this, the people they support are receiving greater consistency of care; they and their families have peace of mind knowing they’ll have continuity of care with a familiar, trusted carer.

We also recognise the importance of empowering staff in the not for profit sector with professional development opportunities. In total, we’ve provided our Keith Fulton Memorial Scholarships to 28 aspiring leaders, supporting them to participate in the prestigious Governor’s Leadership Foundation program through the Leaders Institute of South Australia. Graduates of this program go on to create social change and achieve great things in their careers.

Our focus on training doesn’t end there: our Consultants have developed an extensive collection of free professional development resources that provides videos, articles, guides, and templates that you can download and use to sharpen your skill set. In the 20/21 financial year, our educational videos alone provided 13,000+ hours of free professional development for sector staff.

CBB’s impact doesn’t end with the workday; our staff provided 967 volunteer hours to causes and organisations they care about. Our volunteering spanned Board membership, community events, sporting clubs, environmental work, and mental health.

But all of this is just a small part of our story. You can learn more about us here.

Our own focus on changing lives is why our team really respect and support the work you do at Baptist Care SA. We’re looking forward to seeing you at the conference this week!
