Our partnership
Connecting our customers with iconic natural landmarks like the Great Barrier Reef is at the core of what we do. Our partnership with the Great Barrier Reef Foundation is a key element of our Nature Action Plan (PDF).
Building on a successful 15 year partnership with the Great Barrier Reef Foundation, in 2024 we committed $10 million over 10 years -the Reef Restoration Fund - to support scientists, Traditional Owners and local tourism operators seeking to restore corals across the Great Barrier Reef and other iconic Australian coral reefs.
Learn about how our partnership protects our Australian reefs now and for future generations.
Reef Restoration Fund projects
The Reef Restoration Fund will expand restoration work across the Great Barrier Reef and fund cutting edge research to regenerate corals in the future. In the first two years the fund will focus on three projects.
Boats4Corals
The Reef Restoration Fund will help expand the Boats4Corals program that trains local tourism operators, Traditional Owners and researchers in the cutting edge coral restoration technique known as Coral IVF and launch it in new reef locations.

Coral Nurture
Through the Coral Nurture Program, researchers and reef tour operators work together to replenish reef sites. The Fund will strengthen tourism research partnerships and support the transition to a sustainable model.

Reef Seed
The Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) is developing world-first portable coral nurseries in shipping containers that can grow and plant 100,000 corals each year. Through the Fund, the first Reef Seed will be deployed on the Great Barrier Reef with the support of Traditional Owners and local tourism operators.
