We know the importance of supporting the communities local to where we operate and embrace our responsibility as a world leading shipbuilder to create value beyond the vessels we deliver.
Australia
In 2017 our team in Australia established the ‘Austal Giving’ committee - a platform for the company and its employees to invest in our local communities.
‘Austal Giving’ leverages our people and business' capabilities to improve opportunities for employment, learning, wellbeing and the environment.
United States
Supported by six pillars of their community support strategy: community impact, economic development, education & workforce development, environmental, health & wellness, and veteran & military support, our team in the USA invests in over 50 local non-profits through giving and support each year.
One of the many ways they give back to the community is through the annual Austal USA Charity Golf Invitational. This event, held each spring for over a decade, has raised over $2.7 million for local non-profit organizations, including long-time event partner United Way of Southwest Alabama.
Philippines
Our team in the Philippines established the Austal Community Engagement Program, an initiative designed to engage our local community through activities such as donations, training and career development, and employee volunteering.

Adopt a school program
In 2023, we launched the Adopt A School Program, selecting a school in a remote area of the Philippines at the beginning of each year to support through donations such as facility renovations and resource supplies.
