Community
At the heart of CRT is our strong commitment to local communities.
Spread across Australia, CRT independent businesses are involved in a wide variety of different local community initiatives, events, and organisations. We take our responsibility to support the communities that support us seriously and we’ll continue to work with them to help make a difference where we can because it all starts at CRT.
How We Give Back
We care about our members and their local towns, so we are proud to support these communities. CRT supports the local communities our store operate in through initiatives the CRT Primary Schools Program and the TIACS Alliance.
The CRT Primary Schools Program annually delivers $50,000 to meaningful school projects in rural and regional Australia. In 2024 CRT joined the TIACS Alliance as a Platinum Partner. CRT’s contribution to TIACS is helping to give rural and farming communities access to mental health support without barriers such as location and finances. CRT in partnership with TIACS is helping to break down these barriers through funding for text or call counselling services for those in need.
TIACS Alliance Partner
Just like crops and livestock need care, it’s important to nurture your mental well-being too.
TIACS is here for a one-off chat or on-going support, offering farmers and the rural community free and confidential phone or text mental health services.

Localised Initiatives
Whether it’s sponsorship for sporting clubs and events, fundraising for community service organisations, local schools, and health care facilities, or helping to move stock and rebuild fences in the wake of fires or floods, CRT independent stores are out there doing what they can to help.
