“Our flight savings go back to communities”
The stakes are high for Pilbara Meta Maya Regional Aboriginal Corporation (PMMRAC), a not-for-profit that provides essential services – from housing to water, power and waste management – for remote First Nations communities in Western Australia. “Without organisations like ours, people out on community don’t get clean drinking water, they don’t have power, they don’t have sewerage and they don’t have housing management,” says PMMRAC CEO Rachael Christensen.
SAVE UP TO 10% ON THE BASE FARE OF SELECTED FLIGHTS1
The service covers an area of 600,000 square kilometres, from Geraldton on the mid-west coast of WA up to the Northern Territory border. “Staffing is our biggest challenge,” says Christensen. “It’s really difficult to get people to remote areas so that’s where Qantas comes in.” Discounts on flights that PMMRAC receives as a Qantas Business Rewards member save thousands of dollars a year.1 “Our profits go back to the communities we serve. What we save on airfares pays for programs making a difference now and in the future. In remote communities, like Punmu, we help provide leisure activities, such as a BMX track and a laser tag centre, to keep kids occupied.”
HELP YOUR TEAMS BENEFIT FROM GOING THE EXTRA MILE
While PMMRAC earns Qantas Points on flights, employees also accrue their own points on work trips through Qantas Frequent Flyer – plus, they get a Flyer Bonus of 250 Qantas Points2 if they enter the organisation’s ABN at booking. Little perks mean a lot. “Our staff aren’t doing a normal fly-in/fly-out job. They swag it, live in accommodation on community or finish a 12-hour day in 50-degree heat and then drive to a hotel or caravan site, which could be up to 200 kilometres away. It’s great if we can help them earn more points to use for a holiday with their families.”
