The Knight would like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. Our offices are located in Caulfield North and Docklands, on the lands of the Bunurong and Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation. We wish to acknowledge them as Traditional Owners and pay our respects to their Elders, past and present.

In May 2024, our inaugural Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) was officially endorsed by Reconciliation Australia. This RAP will guide us to embed meaningful reconciliation action into our operations — engaging with staff and leaders in understanding the importance of reconciliation, developing relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stakeholders, and scoping where our organisation can best have impact.

Each year, staff at The Knight recognise a worthy recipient for our ‘Australian Knight’ award — someone who has demonstrated qualities that personify those of a Knight, including bravery, selflessness and leadership.

Staff can nominate a person or charity doing work within the community for the betterment of others. Nominees are voted upon by all staff to determine a winner, who is awarded $15,000 to put towards their mission. We have been running the award since 2010 and have to date donated over $100,000 to charities nationwide.

The MAD Foundation helps the lives of disabled and disadvantaged young people through funding life-changing support equipment and services. The Knight is proud to be a major sponsor of MAD, supporting them to achieve their mission to ‘Make A Difference’.

Each year, The Knight is a platinum sponsor of the annual MAD Foundation Ball, which in 2019 helped raise over $275,000 to support dozens of beneficiaries, including the Royal Children’s Hospital.
