Partnerships

We are unable to complete our work alone. TRDA relies on a network of complimentary partnerships with businesses, community organisations and government entities to ensure we can effectively deliver our services and achieve our mission to empower adolescents with positive life skills. 

Australian Charities and Not-For-Profits Commission (ACNC)


The Right Direction Australia is registered and fully compliant with the ACNC; we are proud to be able to display their 'Registered Charity Tick’ which is public recognition that we as a charity are transparent and accountable.

Commonwealth Bank of Australia


Since 1917 Commonwealth Bank staff have been supporting Australian youth through our employee giving program the CommBank Foundation.


TRDA is very fortunate to be a recipient of the CommBank Grassroots Grant 2017-2020. This amazing grant allows TRDA to deliver our Communication and Social Skills program and Mengineering®.

Hands Across Canberra

Supporting Hands Across Canberra means supporting over 350 local charities and community organisations. Together, we’re working to solve local problems for local people and build a better Canberra for us all. Sadly, not all charities enjoy the same level of community support and awareness. Smaller organisations can struggle for the support and resources they need to carry out their important work. Hands Across Canberra helps by making sure everyone has access to funds, capacity building and support as they work on the front lines to make our community a better place. Working with the Canberra Foundations Collective, we grant more than $1.5 million each year to local projects and people. Hands Across Canberra also administers the Chief Ministers Charitable Fund and invests funds on behalf of generous locals.<o :p />
