Community

Airport Development Group (ADG) has been contributing to the Northern Territory community for more than 25 years.

ADG CDU scholarship program

ADG's long standing partnership with CDU supports local tertiary students, in fields such as Law, business, engineering and environmental studies. Scholarship recipients receive financial assistance with educational expenses and paid work placement to gain industry experience and support career pathways.

Indigenous Training Academy

ADG’s Indigenous Training Academy empowers Indigenous Territorians with training, mentoring and job opportunities.

More than 30 trainees have successfully completed qualifications in hospitality, business and IT sectors since its launch.

The academy inspires and empowers the next generation of Territorians, providing the skills, experience and support to realise their full potential.

Community Grants

ADG’s community grants program is dedicated to fostering growth and development within our communities through targeted support in three key areas: 

• Indigenous Advancement
• Tourism Enhancement
• Stakeholder and Community support

The program supports grassroots initiatives through our Community Grants Program, offering up to $2,000 to community groups and clubs in Darwin, Alice Springs and Tennant Creek. Since its launch in 2024, more than $60,000 has been invested in education and training, health and wellbeing, sport and recreation and arts and culture initiatives. 

Workplace Giving

The team at ADG are passionate about giving back. Through our Workplace Giving Program, team members can choose to donate a set amount from their weekly salary to a cause they care about — and ADG proudly matches every dollar donated. Each year, donation recipients are nominated and selected by team members through a transparent voting process, ensuring our collective support goes where it matters most. This Workplace Giving Program empowers those making a difference in our community.

Past beneficiaries of the ADG Workplace Giving included:

• Dolly’s Dream
• Black Dog Institute – Central Australia
• Sikh Family Food Van
• Butterfly Connect
