GRANT-AUS Grill'd Local Matters
2026-02-01 08:00 - 17:00 (Australia/Sydney)
Provides support to groups, organisations and causes that serve local communities where each Grill’d Restaurant is located.

Every month, each restaurant splits $500 between three groups doing amazing work in the community —and that’s where YOUR vote counts.
Through Local Matters, Grill’d gives $80,000 every month to groups across the country. Since 2011, Local Matters has donated over $7 million to 30,000+ local community groups, organisations and projects:
– Health & disability: $1,255,600
– Community service: $1,401,600
– Sport & recreation: $1,306,700
– Animals & environment: $773,800
– Youth service: $766,500.
How it works
– It’s easy! Order at Grill’d in-restaurant or online and you’ll get a token to vote for the cause closest to your heart.
– 1 burger = 1 vote. Order your burger in-restaurant or online to get your token
– Vote for the community group you care about most
– The jar with the most tokens gets $300, and the other two each get $100.
