‘Real estate is not about houses, it’s about people’ is a phrase that has been quoted for generations in the LJ Hooker family and still holds true today. Our founder, Sir Leslie Hooker, was a great believer in supporting the community. His belief and actions in supporting local communities is one of the cornerstones that has seen LJ Hooker become the iconic brand it is today.

 

Cystic Fibrosis Australia is one of two focus charities under our very own registered not-for-profit charity The LJ Hooker Foundation. Our support for Cystic Fibrosis Australia has included raising funds to donate towards various research projects and their new initiative consumer connect.

 

"Cystic Fibrosis isolates sufferers due to the high level of cross infection. LJ Hooker could see the need for an infection free and knowledge sharing platform that could bind the CF community and provide great insights and value." – Nettie Burke, CEO Cystic Fibrosis Australia

 

Consumer connect is an online community hub established to bring together Australians affected by CF. This ‘hub’ provides access to the most up to date information specifically for the CF community. It is breaking down the barriers and connecting the CF community like never before, it has been a passion project for Cystic Fibrosis Australia (CFA) and LJ Hooker.

 

Local LJ Hooker offices also continually raise funds throughout the year by holding fun runs such as Great Strides Walkathon, stall days, raffles, morning teas, golf days and other fundraising events such as climbing Mt Warning for 65 Roses Day. Involving not only staff and colleagues but also members of our community in supporting Cystic Fibrosis really builds on the beliefs and actions of our brand and strengthens our ties with local communities showcasing the passion we have for people, not just real estate.
