Community Partnerships

As an active member of the Australian community, we are proud to support a number of local and national initiatives. We are passionate about making a positive contribution, particularly in the education, health and wellbeing of future generations.

DDH1 Drilling has a long history of sponsoring organisations and groups, from local sports and fundraising events to national charities, all in the pursuit of promoting strong and vibrant communities.

Blue Tree Project

DDH1 Drilling has been a proud Major Sponsor of the Blue Tree Project since 2023.

Blue Tree Project’s mission is to help spark difficult conversations and encourage people to speak up when battling mental health issues. This message is spread through the powerful medium of painting dead trees blue, giving them a ‘blue lease on life’. The painted trees act as a visual reminder to check in on yourself, loved ones, mates and colleagues.

What started as a grassroots movement in 2019 has quickly made a lasting impact in the mental health space with more than 1,000 registered blue trees around the world. Today, as a registered charity, Blue Tree Project continues to actively engage with communities, fostering safe environments where individuals can openly discuss mental health matters without fear or judgment.

As a business operating throughout the country and often in remote areas, we deeply understand the importance of creating a supportive workplace where mental health can be discussed freely. We are committed to making a tangible difference by promoting mental health awareness and wellbeing at DDH1 Drilling.

Up All Night

DDH1 is a proud Event Partner of Up All Night, a 42km marathon overnight walk raising vital funds for Ronald McDonald House Charities Western Australia (RMHC WA).

From dusk till dawn, the walk aims to place participants in the shoes of the parents who stay at RMHC WA and are up all night with their children.

RMHC WA provides critical services to thousands of families with sick children including quality accommodation, meals, family support officers, learning programs, a business centre for parents working remotely and a range of wellbeing services.

It is truly a special home away from home for many children and their families.

In March 2026, DDH1 Drilling will take part in our fourth annual Up All Night walk. To support our team please the DDH1 Team Fundraising page.

Ultimate Backyard Cricket

DDH1 Drilling has been a Major Sponsor of the Ultimate Backyard Cricket Match since 2023.

Established in 2021, the Ultimate Backyard Cricket Match is the brainchild of The Pirate Ship Foundation, which funds vital research into childhood brain cancer through a wide range of initiatives, adventures, events and partnerships.

As brain cancer kills more Australian children than any other disease, The Pirate Ship Foundation aspires to develop improved treatment options for children suffering from brain cancer, ultimately leading to a cure.

Held in the heritage-listed garden at Government House, The Ultimate Backyard Cricket Match is an all-day family event that attracts past and present cricketing greats, sporting stars and local celebrities.

In November 2025, the DDH1 Drilling Pirates took on the Bailey Brewing Governors with a star-studded line up, raising an impressive $160,000 for vital research.

The Fathering Project

DDH1 has supported Associates Rugby Club in their involvement with the Fathering Project since 2020.

Established in 2013, The Fathering Project supports fathers to be the best parents they can be to allow their children to thrive. Founder, Professor Bruce Robinson identified the need for resources, events, and programs specific to fathers in Western Australian and sought to bridge that gap.

Over the past decade, The Fathering Project has established a series of ‘Dad Groups’ throughout school and community groups, which have been deemed successful on a national scale. These groups provide father figures with safe spaces in which they can learn, share, grow and connect.

The Associates Rugby Union Football Club works closely with The Fathering Project in their delivery of father-child events. Past initiatives have included the Club’s senior team and junior team training together to inspire and foster meaningful connection between participating fathers and their children.
