Working together

Anglo American is a global mining company, but a proudly Central Queensland business. Our product is the backbone of modern life, and our people are at the heart of local communities across the Bowen Basin.

We’ve backed the Moranbah community for 20 years alongside our two steelmaking coal operations. We provide critical mental health and social support services through partnerships with Moranbah and District Support Services and contribute to regional skills development through our Electrotechnology Pathways Project with Moranbah State High School.

Anglo American has had the Middlemount community’s back for more than 40 years, and we continue to provide funding to sustainable development initiatives that make a lasting contribution. We’re improving access to childcare in Middlemount and have boosted road safety awareness through Road Safety Middlemount. Our annual Health and Wellness Expo brings a range of services to the community.

Moura is an integral community to Anglo American. We have long supported a range of organisations that operate close to our Dawson Open Cut Mine, including the RACQ CQ Rescue helicopter service and bringing Heart of Australia’s specialist healthcare services to Moura and Theodore. We also back local students at Moura State High School through our partnership with the Queensland Minerals and Energy Academy.

Phins up in CQ

Thousands of people across our communities - including hundreds of our workforce - welcomed Dolphins NRL players and staff on their first annual Central Queensland tour, hosted by Anglo American.

Supporting reconciliation in our communities

Reconciliation is about creating equity and equality – and that’s what our work with Traditional Owner groups is all about.

Anglo American has supported and empowered Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in our communities for many years to preserve and protect cultural heritage for future generations – and we are passionate in our backing of this work.

 

We work closely with the Barada Barna, Barada Kabalbara Yetimarala, Gangulu and Wulli Wulli Traditional Owner groups to develop a shared vision of an independent and fair society. 

Through our Reconciliation Action Plan, Anglo American committed to provide opportunities to Care for Country; Connecting to Country; Empowering Communities and Songlines.

 

We also back a range of Indigenous-owned organisations, including Indigital, which brings new technology to communities through cultural connections.

Community incidents and grievances

We’re always looking to find ways to improve how we operate in our communities.
