Department of Education Salary Contribution Scheme
Since 1931, NSW and ACT public schools have been vital partners in our mission. More than 250,000 children have experienced the care and support of the Stewart House Program. By giving each fortnight, you’re helping provide health checks, emotional wellbeing, stronger relationships and hope for the future.
Workplace Giving: Maximize Your Impact, Pre-Tax
Workplace giving is a simple and mutually beneficial way to support Stewart House, the NSW Department of Education’s Charity of Choice.
Stewart House is a recognised children’s charity with deductible gift recipient (DGR) status for the purposes of advancing health, social or public welfare and other purpose beneficial to the community. Our full credentials can be viewed here.
When you choose to make a donation to Stewart House through the Department’s salary sacrifice provider: Smart, your contribution is deducted before tax (where applicable), meaning your donation may reduce the amount of tax you pay while supporting Stewart House on a regular basis.
Why it Matters
Your regular support through workplace giving makes a lasting difference in a child’s life. One student recently put it best:
“I’ve had a great time, as there were some things at home I needed to get off my chest. It’s a truly loveful place.”
