Our Story

At Cornerstone Relief Project, we are a group of Currumbin locals and friends who came together in the face of crisis.

Born from the 2022 Eastern Australian floods, our emergency response efforts grew into something more — a shared mission to support our community in times of need.

When disaster struck, we mobilised to provide aid, assistance, and relief to those affected. We witnessed the strength, resilience, and unity of Currumbin firsthand, as neighbours, friends, and strangers stood together to rebuild and recover.

Determined to keep this spirit alive, we established Cornerstone Relief Project — a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to preserving and strengthening our community's support network for the future. Whether responding to emergencies or fostering connections, our mission is simple:

To be a beacon of hope, support, and unity for all who call the Southern Gold Coast home.

This is who we are. This is the spirit of community.

Our Vision

Our Mission

To ensure every fundraising dollar directly benefits those in need, without administrative overhead. To strengthen our community's capacity to respond swiftly and effectively to emergencies and disasters.

Our Founding Members
