Inclusivity, Sponsorships and Community Giving

Amstel is a passionate supporter of inclusivity, equality and accessibility within every part of the Club’s operations. 

One of the best ways that the Club can promote golf, is for the Club to be a leader and an avid example of best practice within the local community.

The Club is proud to note that:

50% of all staff within the Club are female, including within senior management positions, and the Club employs without gender bias

We have staff aged 17 through to 74 years of age, and employ without age bias
There are over 20 different cultures working within the team, and the Club employs without cultural and racial bias
Many of our existing staff are living with non-apparent disabilities, including epilepsy, deafness, multiple sclerosis, acquired brain injuries, and mental health concerns
The Club also employs, at full award pay rate, six staff living with more profound disabilities who work under a supported worker programme in partnership with Umbrella Support

Club based Inclusivity Programs

Supported Worker Program

In partnership with Umbrella Support, Amstel’s Supported Workers Programme currently employs six staff living with a disability, who work at the Club on full award rate. During all shifts working under the program, the team are supported by a member of staff from Umbrella Support and a team member from Amstel.

Every1 Café

The Every1 Café utilises the Club’s courtyard and Airstream servery to offer patrons a café experience run entirely by members of the local community living with disability. This provides our participants with a safe and inclusive working and learning environment in which to build skills, confidence and be proud of their contribution to the Amstel group and the wider community.

The Every1 Café is supervised by a dedicated Club employee and staff from Umbrella Support, with all costs covered by the Club.

Every1 Academy

The Every1 Academy utilises one of the Club’s kitchens to offer participants living with a disability a safe and inclusive place to learn the art of cooking. Each class is run by one of the Club chefs, with a goal of making participants more self-sufficient and hopefully able to develop their passion for cooking into a career.
