What’s Local Matters?

It’s our way of giving back to all the local communities Grill’d is part of, right around Australia.

Every month, each restaurant splits $500 between three groups doing amazing work in the community - and that’s where YOUR vote counts.

How does it work?

Easy! Order at Grill’d in-restaurant or online, get a token, check out the groups for that month and vote for the cause close to your heart.

1 burger = 1 vote. You get vote tokens when you order in-restaurant or online.

Vote! At the end of the month the jar with the most tokens gets $300, and the other two each get $100.

Know that you’re part of helping us give over $80,000 a month to community groups around Australia.
