Workplace Giving

Make a difference to someone’s life by joining RACQ CapRescue’s Workplace Giving Program.

 

Highly experienced flight and medical crews are on-call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The demand for our services goes up every year and as a community helicopter rescue provider we rely on donations to raise essential funds.

StepUp Workplace Giving is a payroll contribution program that gives you the opportunity to have a positive and lasting impact in your local community.

Donations are deducted each pay period directly from your salary. Just work out how much you’d like to contribute, let your payroll department know and get started.

To launch your giving straight away simply send us an enquiry online (select Workplace Giving from the drop down menu) or download and print our Workplace Giving form for your HR team.

 

 

If you’re a payroll officer, this is how it works.

 

  1. Set up Capricorn Helicopter Rescue Service on your payroll for employees to contribute.
  2. Ask employees to complete our Step Up Deduction Authority. This gives information on the amount to be remitted and provides written authority for contributions to be made.
  3. Set up the contribution in your payroll and remit the funds to Capricorn Helicopter Rescue Service.
  4. At the EOFY, we provide tax-deductible receipts for all your employees (if their contributions don’t show on payment summaries).
