Community Health and Safety
Alcoa contributes to healthy communities worldwide by broadening access to healthcare and social services, improving service quality and efficiency, preventing injuries and promoting wellness at every stage of life. Children and families need knowledge, tools and services to remain healthy and safe at home, in the community and in the workplace.
Anglesea Surf Life Saving Club
Alcoa Anglesea recognises the great service Anglesea Surf Life Saving Club provides the community by making the beach experience for local families and tourists a safer one.
Community organisations and facilities are vital to the strength of small communities like Anglesea and Alcoa wants to see institutions like the Surf Life Saving Club continue to grow and prosper, while encouraging a healthy, active lifestyle.
With the ocean being such a major part of the lifestyle in Anglesea it is critical that people are able to enjoy the water safely and Alcoa Anglesea is proud to support the Anglesea Surf Life Saving Club - a partnership which has spanned over 40 years.

Anglesea CFA
Alcoa has been a partner of the Anglesea CFA for over 40 years with Alcoa first sponsoring the brigade at Pt Henry before the Anglesea operations began. In that time the CFA and Alcoa Anglesea have shared emergency response training exercises and resources, worked together on local issues and developed the CFA’s resources to ensure they are in a good position to defend the Anglesea township against the threat of fire and to act in emergencies.
The brigade is involved in a number of activities within the local community. Fire and emergency activities include: attending and fighting fires; attending road accidents & chemical spills; conducting fuel reduction burns; assisting other agencies at incidents.
Some of the non fire fighting activities include: educating the community about fire safety; assisting business and house holders prepare emergency evacuation strategies; managing community fire risks; maintaining fire equipment; supporting the community with Juniors and brigades in schools programs.
