Health & Wellbeing

As a founding partner of the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF), David Jones has contributed over the past 29 years to the funding of nearly 600 research projects Australia wide. David Jones’ Rose Clinics provide an instore free health screening service for women over 40 to assist with the early detection of breast cancer. And our support for Look Good Feel Better over the past 15 years has helped cancer patients manage the appearance-related side effects caused by cancer treatment.

First Nations Reconciliation

David Jones supports reconciliation in Australia through several important collaborations and activity. Our partnership with Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair Foundation delivers the Indigenous Fashion Projects for First Nations fashion creatives; our partnership with the GO Foundation helps fund scholarship programs for young people on their education journey; our partnership with the ALNF helps to raise language, literacy and numeracy standards in Australia; and our Reconciliation Action Plan underpins all of these initiatives by providing a framework to deliver on our commitments.
