The organisation
OzHarvest is a leading for-impact organisation who rescues quality surplus food and delivers it to people in need. They also provide educational programmes that support its wider mission to Nourish Our Country. To expand this vital work across Australia and fulfil their mission, they need reliable refrigerated transport.
The challenge
To safely collect and distribute fresh food across metropolitan, regional and remote areas, OzHarvest relies on refrigerated special vehicles. As demand for food relief continues to rise, (noticeably in underserved regions), expanding transport capacity is key to reaching more communities and preventing valuable food from going to waste.
The partnership
With local access to Scully RSV’s Melbourne branches in Dandenong South and Truganina, South Eastern Transport benefited from faster trailer availability, responsive servicing, and on-the-ground expertise—right where their operations are based.
This investment directly strengthens OzHarvest’s frontline operations, enabling their dedicated teams to safely move perishable food and extend their reach into new and remote communities.
The impact: In a nutshell
The impact is felt far and wide:
- More meals delivered to communities experiencing food insecurity
- Greater reach into regional and remote areas across Australia
- Reduced food waste through safe, temperature-controlled transport
- Increased operational capacity to respond to fluctuating local demand
In their words
“A heartfelt thank you to Scully RSV for your incredible ongoing support through the generous gift of three refrigerated food rescue vehicles across Australia – including our very first Northern Territory yellow-branded food rescue ute. With your help, we can deliver many more meals to people in need while preventing good food from going to waste. Your generosity is making a real difference and truly helps us ‘Nourish our Country.’”
Lisa Dainty, National Partnerships Manager
