Supporting Our Community
The Brooks OBR MAIA philosophy is founded on contributing to and strengthening the communities around us. We are committed to giving back to the Aboriginal community and proudly support a wide range of charities, voluntary organisations, community groups, and sporting clubs. By fostering community spirit and meaningful engagement, our support extends from financial donations to the lending of machinery - ensuring our involvement reaches far and wide.
“The Seven Sisters”
Brooks OBR MAIA is committed to incorporating Aboriginal culture, people, and businesses into all aspects of our company.
In 2022, we commissioned the services of talented Indigenous artist, Sister Danielle Champion to design an artwork for our new Volvo prime mover. The piece is called “The Seven Sisters” and has a special Indigenous story behind it.
These are just some of the organisations Brooks OBR MAIA proudly supports.

Learn More About Binar FuturesSince April 2023, one of our telehandlers has been generating funds to support Aboriginal youth.
Using Danielle Champion’s “Seven Sisters” artwork to decorate the telehandler, Brooks asked Sister Danielle to select a charity close to her heart for proceeds to go to; she chose Binar Futures.
Binar Futures is an Aboriginal youth support program that brings young people into contact with their culture, providing leadership and development opportunities. A percentage of all profits earned by the telehandler goes directly to Binar Futures. -
