BeachPatrol provides organisations with meaningful opportunities to give back to the community
Our corporate volunteering program supports organisations in achieving their corporate social responsibility & sustainability goals. Activating colleagues in pursuit of a common goal is a great way to connect and build strong teams. Not to mention the positive impact on the environment!
"Thank you so much for a great and eye opening day! In my personal life I am so much more conscious of my behaviour and in our professional life we are motivated to make a difference!"
We can host education sessions about plastic litter and its impact to our environment and marine life.
We can also take staff out on a beach or street litter surveying experience. During these exercises your employees work in small groups along the beach or street to record the litter using our survey sheets. At the end of the survey the sheets are collated and the teams spend time categorising and documenting the litter picked up in that session. This provides a great engagement opportunity and raises awareness around how to reduce common problem waste items.
Our brochure contains further information including cost structure.

Endorsement from a Large Company. Thank you again for hosting our team at Port Melbourne New Beach for the corporate clean-up activity. We truly appreciated the opportunity to be part of such a meaningful initiative. It was not only a rewarding experience but also an eye-opening one. Through the activity—especially when we focused on collecting bottle caps, food wrappers, and other plastic waste—we saw firsthand how our everyday consumption is impacting the environment more than we often realise.
While we were already aware that plastics are harmful to the ocean, the hands-on experience really brought that message to life. It has certainly sparked deeper awareness within our team and encouraged us to think more consciously about our habits.
We also want to sincerely thank you and the BeachPatrol team for your dedication and the incredible work you do to keep our beaches clean and protected. Your passion and commitment made the session both educational and inspiring for all of us 😊
