Partnerships
Partnerships Overview
Aurizon has a proud track record of supporting the communities in which we work and live, in many different ways. Some of the most important elements of this support are our local, regional and national partnerships.
We look to create mutually beneficial relationships with key organisations or community groups, where our involvement can help these groups achieve their goals.
As part of our community investment program, Aurizon is forming partnerships with organisations and events that support our focus on Community Safety, Education, Environment, and Health & Wellbeing.

Clontarf Foundation
Aurizon’s partnership with the Clontarf Foundation will make a difference and improve the lives of indigenous young men.The Clontarf Foundation is a charitable not-for-profit organisation set up to improve the education, discipline, self-esteem, life skills and employment prospects of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men.
The Foundation has been highly successful in attracting boys to school and retaining them. It has also been successful in placing graduates in permanent full-time employment.
The Foundation’s programs are delivered through a network of Academies, each of which operates in partnership with a secondary school or college. The Foundation uses the existing passion Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island boys have for sport to attract them to attend an Academy and attend school. Upon completing school, graduates are assisted to find employment and are provided with on-going support through an Alumni program.
Clontarf currently operates academies across Queensland, Western Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia and the Northern Territory.
