Meet the local community groups

Connect your participation with a broader community benefit

At the end of each survey, you will receive e-tokens that you can allocate to local not-for-profit community groups registered with Voconiq to receive Local Voices Rewards. Community groups can then convert these e-tokens into cash donations.

Every completed 'anchor' survey earns 20 e-tokens valued at $10 and the ongoing six-monthly ‘pulse’ surveys earn 10 e-tokens, valued at $5.

Groups or organisations nominate to join the rewards program. They must be not-for-profit groups operating in Newcastle and can be schools, charities, sports clubs, or other not-for-profit organisations. (Terms and conditions)

There is no limit to the number of e-tokens any one community group can accrue.
