Our team lunches (which we hold every month) are shared moments we all look forward to at Hidrive. 🍔🤸 They’re not just meals, they are gestures of appreciation, prepared by us for our colleagues, that bring us together and make us all feel valued. Small things, big impact.
Pink Stumps Day

Helping a Hidrive Mate

When our colleague Graham suffered a cardiac arrest early in 2024 and needed time off work for surgery and recuperation, we rallied together for a ‘Helping a Hidrive Mate’ fundraiser lunch at all our locations. Staff chipped in over a thousand dollars, matched dollar for dollar by Hidrive, for a grand total of $2,131 towards Graham’s medical expenses and family needs.
It was a privilege to stand behind our colleague in his time of need and the great news is he’s now back at work and fighting fit! 🩵
Harmony Week

Harmony Week celebrates Australian multiculturalism and the successful integration of migrants into our community. Hidrive has actively supported this event for several years and 2024 was no exception.
Harmony Week is a special time for us to shine a light on the diversity that enriches our team at Hidrive. With colleagues from all over of the globe — Pakistan, Afghanistan, Fiji, South Africa, Malaysia, India, Nepal, England, Switzerland, and more — our team is a dynamic blend of cultural backgrounds. It was great to enjoy a tasty lunch together and hear stories about life in other countries. 🌏❤️
