Our purpose

We believe that to change our world, we need communities of holistically well beings—and that our physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being starts in childhood. It’s a belief that’s close to our hearts, rooted in the simple yet powerful idea that young people, especially in those formative years, should have every opportunity to thrive.

Our life's journey began at
Amaroo Court.

Hurtling down our driveway, side hitched as brothers on our skateboards, we remember the exhilaration as we flew down Amaroo Court…travelling only at top speed as you did when you were a kid. Unaware of the risks. Having maximum fun!

Playing footy matches with teams constructed from the boys and girls from all of the houses, turning the only grassed paddock into a first class BMX track for racing, 3 on 3 basketball games, test cricket over the entire weekend, chalking a tennis court on the bitumen to play our best of 5 sets, chipping golf balls across one nature strip to the next trying to emulate the pros to stop the ball on a dime. Playing ‘Rocco’ and watching all the kids scatter into the backyards, hiding, to make the final rush to the square for safety.


The days as kids seemed endless fun at Amaroo Court – a community. A beautiful place.

The third bedroom of our family home became the beginning of a magical and meaningful journey in business and in life. Our growth was personal and collective. We were a true family business; inclusive, collaborative, together – always aiming to live our values of professional, ethical, grateful and respectful. Our family community grew with us, and like a rolling snowball, we expanded – sharing, learning, failing, succeeding – always willing to endure, dream, as we did when we were kids starting out on our journey at Amaroo.

Together with Tim, we created Amaroo Club to capture this exhilaration and life’s journey as we transition through all stages; embracing the successes, failings and learnings. It’s a safe and nurturing place to dream, care, be vulnerable, be renewed, grow, share, support, mentor and give back. Where you can give yourself permission to learn, have fun, connect, create personal wellbeing and translate all of this to your family, business and community.


It’s another chapter in our story together; not just in the name but how our shared Foundation – now known as Amaroo Foundation – will serve as the nominated charity of Amaroo Club. Formally the Camp Australia Foundation and Phillips Brothers Foundation, we have aligned the Club and Foundation name and activities for synergy. For over 20 years we have been fortunate to give back to underprivileged children and communities, providing primary school education locally, nationally and internationally. Amaroo Club is designed to be a vehicle to help us continue on this journey, where together we can help those less fortunate.


Please join with us as we all share in the twists and turns of business and in life within ‘a beautiful place’ – Amaroo Club.

Andrew, Anthony and Tim

We’re here because we know that nurturing our youngest generation lays the foundation for a brighter, more equitable future.

Our purpose is to ensure that primary school-aged children have the support they need to shine, no matter where they come from. This isn’t just our mission—it’s the very reason we do what we do, the heartbeat of Amaroo Foundation.

From intimate gatherings to large events, we bring together a community of like minded individuals and businesses, fostering opportunities for connection, learning, and sharing. People can come together to give back in the variety of shapes giving can take—in their time, resources, and expertise, or even the simple act of being present.

Guided by the Amaroo Advisory Council, Board, and Ambassadors, the revenue generated by these events and Amarooian donations focus on projects that align with our mission of supporting education that changes lives.

At Amaroo, we believe in the power of communities of well beings.

At Amaroo, we believe in the power of communities of well beings. When people come together in supportive environments, they create the conditions for everyone to thrive. Our theory of change is rooted in this idea: when people connect, share, grow, and give within a nurturing, supportive environment fostering lifelong learning, they can generate the collective energy needed to create meaningful change.

By fostering a community of individuals and businesses committed to making a difference in the many shapes this takes, we build one another up, empowering us to build a better world for future generations.  

Working with charities and nonprofits focused on primary education, we’re using the collective giving power of our community to break cycles of disadvantage, ensuring today’s children have every opportunity to flourish.

Our model of giving is based on the compounding power of collective giving. By giving to Amaroo, contributions don’t just add up—they multiply, creating a ripple effect that extends far beyond what is individually possible. It is through this power of this collective giving that we are changing the lives of young people—and nurturing ourselves in the process.
