Through AMCAP’s GEM ‘Go the Extra Mile’ Community program, we have aligned the business with the following causes or charities, providing sponsorship, donations and assistance where necessary.

The National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) is Australia’s leading national body funding game-changing breast cancer research with money raised entirely by the Australian public. Their mission is simple: stop deaths from breast cancer by identifying, funding and championing world-class research that will improve treatment outcomes, and ultimately save lives.

Lifeline WA is a not-for-profit organisation that keeps people safe from suicide, supports people in crisis and keeps people emotionally well. This is done through a variety of crisis support and suicide prevention services. Lifeline WA’s mission is to prevent suicide, support people in crisis and reduce the stigmas, which can be a barrier to people seeking help. Somewhere in Australia, there is a new call to Lifeline every 30 seconds. Last year, more than 64,000 Western Australians contacted us for support via the 13 11 14 service. Many were after advice or self-help information for friends and family. Others were reaching out for someone to listen to their concerns. Typically, callers in crisis find that painful changes or problems are increasing their distress and overwhelming their capacity to cope.

Lifeline WA believes that almost all suicides are preventable and that by connecting vulnerable people with crisis support, these people can be kept safe. If you or someone you know needs urgent support, please call 13 11 14, Lifeline WA is part of the national Lifeline network: the leading provider of suicide prevention services in Australia.

AMCAP has partnered with 13YARN with the aim to spread awareness of the 13YARN crisis line through branding on our Maintenance Service Kits. This is a very important partnership as our kits reach a large number of people, especially in remote areas. We believe organisations including 13YARN play an extremely important part in aiding our Indigenous Australians.

13YARN is an Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander crisis support line funded by the Australian Government with the support of Lifeline and developed in collaboration with Gayaa Dhuwi (Proud Spirit) Australia. It is run by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
