Community Support

Kangaroo Island CommunityLink Program

SeaLink’s commitment to Kangaroo Island and its community spans over 30 years and we are passionate about its future.

Our extensive CommunityLink sponsorship program is focused on supporting local organisations, community groups and events that directly benefit the Kangaroo Island community and eco-based efforts for the recovery and ongoing viability of the island’s flora and fauna. Our support is primarily in the form of in-kind and discounted travel.

When can I apply for CommunityLink?

Applications for the 2024/2025 CommunityLink Program are now closed and will reopen again April 2025.

The SeaLink CommunityLink Program offers support for the Kangaroo Island community, its flora and fauna through in-kind and discounted travel.

Each year, we receive hundreds of requests for support from across a broad spectrum of the Kangaroo Island community. In the interest of fairness, each individual application is carefully assessed against both a set of criteria, as well as the broader sum of applicants’ requirements.

Sponsorship will not be considered outside of the CommunityLink application period.

If you have any queries regarding a current application, please email [email protected]
