TEAM & CULTURE

Jordyn Barlow and Kirsten Neil volunteered with the Town of Mosman Park at a local community event designed to rethink how waste is managed at public gatherings. Instead of the typical single-use plates and cutlery, the event trialled a reusable system supported by a central waste station. All bins in the park were removed, encouraging attendees to bring their waste directly to volunteers who could help sort it correctly.

Over our 9-year history, we have created more than 25 permanent roles, employed over 50 people, and worked on over 1000 projects. This is something we are very proud of. In a sector that suffers from skills shortages, we feel our contribution to job creation and capability building in the sustainability world has been outsized. 

Earlier this month, I was lucky enough to use Perspektiv’s Adventure Leave for something I’d been talking about for years: an eight-day rafting trip down Tasmania’s Franklin River with a group of old uni mates.
