At Lachlan Partners we encourage our people to give back to the community. A number of our staff members provide pro bono services to
the community. In addition, the firm contributes financially to a
number of charities.
The firm has three primary charities:
(1) TLC for kids is a registered charity which provides assistance in the shortest possible time,
usually 24-48 hours to ill children. Since 1998, over 13,500 children and their families have directly benefited from the Rapid TLC service and TLC for kids events. In 2004, TLC for kids launched the National TLC Distraction Box Program which provides further assistance for medical staff working
with children in hospital. An average of 254,000 children are benefiting from this program annually.

(2) Movember – changing the face of men’s health
During November
each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches
on thousands of men’s faces in Australia and around the world.. The
funds raised are directed to programs run directly by Movember and
our men’s health partners, the Prostate Cancer Foundation of
Australia and beyondblue: the national depression initiative. In
2010, over 130,000 Australian Mo Bros and Sistas got on board,
raising $25 Million AUD.

(3) Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation
The Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation (OCRF) has been established
to foster research into ovarian cancer - a disease which in
Australia claims the life of one woman every 10 hours and often
remains undetected until in its advanced stages.

In addition, the firm also supports the Red Cross Bushfire Appeal and the Rotary Club program.
