TELSTRA AND THE COMMUNITY

Last year Telstra contributed $101,570 to local Aussie Rules football clubs across Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia.
This year we've extended the True Supporters program to other football codes including participating rugby league clubs in Northern Territory and soccer clubs in northern NSW.

Telstra is committed to making a difference in regional, rural and remote Australia. Part of this commitment includes running a range
of community programs in local communities. Some other organisations to have benefited in 2008 include Surf Life Saving Australia, Children's
Kindergartens and Kinders, NSW Rural Fire Service Association (RFSA) and County Fire Authority (CFA).

SURF LIFE SAVING CLUBS

In 2008 the 'Heroes of the Club' program resulted in SLSA clubs across
Australia receiving $255,000 and by March this year our nationwide 'Answer the Call' program had already generated over $140,000 in
contributions. Our target for 2009 is $250,000.

LOCAL FIRE FIGHTING ORGANISATIONS

In support of local fire fighting organisations, Telstra contributed over
$70,000 to NSW RFSA and VIC CFA organisations in 2008.
