At Matthews Steer, we believe that strong businesses are built on strong communities — and we’re passionate about making a positive impact in the places where we live and work.
Our commitment to community comes from the heart and is guided by our purpose: "To empower our communities to live their potential." For us, it’s about more than financial support – it’s about being there in ways that truly matter.
Whether we’re lending a hand through charitable causes, giving our time to local clubs, sharing knowledge and opportunities with current and emerging leaders, or actively engaging with key industry associations – we strive to make a meaningful, lasting difference.

Success Stories
Breakfast Events
Twice a year, we host our Success Stories Breakfasts which are designed to educate, inspire and connect. These breakfasts bring together local business owners, professionals, students and community members to hear from high-impact guest speakers.
Each event features a speaker who shares their personal story of growth, resilience and achievement — often detailing how they’ve overcome challenges on the path to success. The events are an opportunity to learn from real-world experiences, spark meaningful conversations, and build connections within our business and local community.
Supporting
the Next Generation
We’re passionate about investing in future leaders and providing opportunities for young people to grow and thrive. As part of this commitment, we support local VCE students by inviting them to our Success Stories Breakfast, held twice a year.
These events provide students with the opportunity to hear real-world experiences from successful business professionals, gain insight into different career paths, and build valuable connections within the local business community. We partner with local schools to ensure students from diverse backgrounds can access this inspiring and educational initiative.
