Our mission is simple.

We’re here to create local jobs, career pathways and a workplace where people from all backgrounds can thrive.

Beacon Laundry is a social enterprise commercial laundry—one of the greenest in Australia—offering a premium service to local hotels, motels and commercial accommodation providers. What sets us apart is working hand-in-hand with our community to create employment pathways for people facing barriers to work, including those living with disability, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people with lived experience of mental health challenges and those with experiences of homelessness. It’s at the heart of who we are.

A start-up of White Box Enterprises, Beacon contributes to the goal of creating 5,000 jobs by 2030 for Australians facing barriers to employment.
