Eleven local organisations from across the City of Moreton Bay will step into the NRL spotlight next season after being selected as Ausbuild’s 2026 Community Partners.

Ausbuild, the Official Community Partner of the Dolphins, has announced the successful recipients of its annual Community Partner Program, an initiative designed to recognise and reward grassroots groups making a difference in the region. Read more about the program here.

Following a competitive expression of interest process, 11 organisations were chosen for 2026, representing schools, kindergartens, sporting clubs, veteran services, mental health support and community transport providers.

Each organisation will receive up to $6,000 worth of complimentary tickets to a Dolphins home game, giving volunteers, families, students and supporters the chance to attend together.

Participants will also form the Guard of Honour at either Suncorp Stadium or Kayo Stadium, walking onto the field as the Dolphins run out in front of thousands of fans. It is a moment designed to celebrate the everyday work happening in our community.

Ausbuild Joint Managing Director Matthew Bell said the partnership remained one of the company’s most meaningful initiatives.

“At Ausbuild, we believe in building communities, not just homes,” Mr Bell said.

“These organisations are making a genuine difference, supporting young people, veterans, families and seniors every day. Through our partnership with the Dolphins, we are proud to recognise their contribution in a way that brings people together and celebrates the impact they have across our region.”

Collectively, these organisations support thousands of residents across Moreton Bay, from nurturing children in their early years and backing young people through school, to protecting beachgoers, supporting veterans, promoting mental health and helping seniors stay connected.

What this means for locals

For volunteers, families and students involved in these groups, it means recognition, connection and a shared night out at the footy. For the wider community, it is a reminder of the strength of the grassroots organisations that keep Moreton Bay thriving.

Ausbuild says it is looking forward to another season of community engagement and celebration in 2026.
