Thanks to our community of Good Eggs, Humpty has helped improve health outcomes for babies and children across Australia. One truth has always guided us: we are stronger together.

Having led Humpty’s partnerships team and now as CEO, I’ve seen how corporate collaboration strengthens hospital care and communities. Our Wish List and hospital network provide a platform for organisations to align goals and create real social impact. When companies engage in genuine, values-aligned support, the impact extends beyond hospitals - employees feel greater satisfaction and pride in their company’s community contribution.

Our long-standing partnership with Glencore, including its McArthur River Mine (MRM) in the Northern Territory, exemplifies this impact. Their 20-year support has helped us reach regional and remote communities, giving children access to the same lifesaving care as those in major cities. Glencore’s partnership stands out for its deep commitment and understanding of regional families’ challenges in medical emergencies. 

'Humpty is a charity that delivers direct, tangible benefits, which is one of the reasons we’ve been supporting them for so long,'

says Jay Jools, a leader within Glencore. 'Many of our operations are in regional or remote areas, and we understand how frightening it can be for parents when their babies or children require urgent or lifesaving care. The work Humpty does to ensure this equipment is available is truly inspirational. A number of our own employees have children who’ve needed medical equipment provided by Humpty,' Jay explains. 'Humpty’s work has saved many children’s lives, and we are immensely proud of what they do.' 

Supporting Humpty extends Glencore’s community commitment. 'We aim to provide lasting social and economic benefits within the communities in which we operate,' Jay adds. 'This extends beyond jobs and local business support; it’s about partnering with organisations that make a real difference to local people.' 

Glencore’s generosity has delivered vital equipment to neonatal and paediatric units across regional Australia - from Gove Hospital in the NT to Emerald Hospital in QLD and John Hunter Hospital in NSW - easing pressure on families and helping medical teams improve outcomes close to home. Jay’s message is simple: 'We would encourage other businesses to support Humpty, what they do is inspirational and has helped thousands of Australian families.' 

Partnerships - with corporations, foundations, and individual donors - are at the heart of Humpty’s impact.

Every gift shows what’s possible when people unite with purpose. Our 35-year success is built on generosity, trust, and commitment to saving little lives. Thank you to every supporter – and those yet to join - for helping deliver hope, one piece of equipment at a time.
