We're providing free e-scooter use to 50 program participants and staff from Aboriginal not-for-profit organisation, the Killara Foundation

6 July 2022

This NAIDOC Week, we are delighted to partner with and Aboriginal not-for-profit organisation Killara Foundation to celebrate Australian First Nations cultures at an e-scooter workshop for Killara staff and program participants in Melbourne.

Killara is an Aboriginal not-for-profit organisation at the heart of creating sustainable employment pathways for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Australia since 2019. Through our partnership with Killara we will be providing 50 program participants and staff with unlimited, free Neuron rides in Melbourne. By increasing transport options in the city, we hope to help remove employment barriers for those within the Killara program.

Our NAIDOC Week event and e-scooter workshop ensures program participants are ready to ride e-scooters safely. The event also celebrates Aboriginal First Nations cultures with a Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony as well speeches from Killara Board Director, Ian Hamm.

The event complemented a series of ongoing initiatives Neuron and Killara have in place together, including creating career pathways within our company, providing cultural sensitivity training for our employees and supporting the Killara Foundation’s Year 13 Program focusing on Road Safety.

The event was an important milestone in Neuron’s Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). Neuron is the first and only micromobility organisation in Australia to have a RAP formally endorsed by Reconciliation Australia.
