C2A aims to reduce environmental impact as part of our social procurement services.

For example, our teams use battery-powered equipment wherever possible.

From kindergartens to hospitals, we use these low-noise, zero-emission tools to support sensitive sites and sustainable practices.

It’s all part of our long-term commitment to reducing our environmental footprint while also supporting our local communities.

One in five Australians live with disability.

That’s over 4.4 million people.

If that number seems high to you, it's because around 90% of disabilities are invisible.

At C2A, we are committed to shifting people's view of disability and helping our clients connect to their abilities.

We do this through our 10 sites across regional Victoria and metropolitan Melbourne:
👉 Community inclusion programs
👉 Day service and support programs
👉 Creating supported employment opportunities
👉 Fundraising and volunteering through our network of op shops
👉 Providing Respite at our purpose fit Shorter House facility in Traralgon

Commercial organisations and government agencies support us by becoming social procurement partners, while clients join us for our diverse range of individualised support programs and supported employment opportunities.

To find out more, call 1300 111 212 or visit our website today.

C2A Op Shops are a gateway to retail work experience, community connection and confidence-building.

While our shoppers browse and find bargains, we are creating opportunities for supported employees to learn real-world skills, meet new people and become part of something bigger.

Visit one of our stores in Mildura, Traralgon, Mt Eliza or Wonthaggi and meet our wonderful volunteers and supported employees.

More than an Op Shop... This is inclusion in action.

Carers play an essential role in our communities, often stepping in quietly to support family members or friends living with disability, chronic illness, mental health conditions or age-related needs.

Looking after other people often involves very long ‘work’ hours, not to mention a heavy emotional load. It is important that there is support for carers, so they can share their experiences and maintain wellbeing.

If you'd like the opportunity to take a break in the new year, send C2A a message and ask about our Support for Carers program.

The festive season is fast approaching!

Please touch base with your local C2A to find out when our teams will be on break over the holiday period.

We're looking forward to seeing you for activities, fun and engagement in 2026.
