Wounds Australia is pleased to welcome SCR Group as a new Silver Partner, with the relationship set to support a First Nations wound care scholarship and strengthen Wounds Australia's sustainability work. 

As part of the partnership, SCR Group has committed $5,000 for a Wounds Australia scholarship, administered through our First Nations Advisory Committee, for an Indigenous healthcare professional to further their wound care education and development.

Turning reuse into opportunity

SCR Group helps recover unwanted clothing, shoes and textiles through collection and reuse programs around Australia, keeping useful materials in circulation for longer and reducing textile waste.

The new relationship brings SCR Group's experience in textile recovery and reuse together with Wounds Australia's focus on improving wound care and supporting the healthcare professionals who deliver it.

Wounds Australia CEO Jeff Antcliff said the partnership demonstrated how sustainability could also create opportunities in healthcare.

"What makes this particularly exciting is the way it connects sustainability with a practical investment in the future of wound care," Mr Antcliff said. "It shows how partnerships outside the traditional healthcare sector can create meaningful opportunities for our community while supporting broader sustainability goals."

SCR Group Executive Director Andre Samo said working with Wounds Australia offered a way to connect the organisation's work in textile reuse with practical benefits for the community.

"We see this partnership as an opportunity to show what can happen when reuse, local collaboration and community investment come together," Mr Samo said. "Supporting a First Nations wound care scholarship gives us a practical way to contribute while demonstrating how sustainability initiatives can also create positive outcomes for people and communities."
