Oolio Launches Oolio Giving: Small Acts, Big Impact for Cancer Research Together with Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation

MELBOURNE, AU - Monday, Dec 15, 2025 - At Oolio, we believe hospitality is about people, about creating moments that matter. We're proud to announce the launch of Oolio Giving, a simple way for our venues and customers to make a real difference, one tap at a time. Through our partnership with the Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation, Oolio Giving invites customers to donate directly to support life-saving cancer research. Because at Oolio, we know every tap helps support cancer research.

Built on the idea that small gestures can create extraordinary impact, Oolio Giving offers guests an easy way to contribute while paying and gives venues a meaningful way to demonstrate community spirit. For venues using Oolio Pay, Oolio Giving is simple to activate and requires no additional setup or reporting.

Oolio has always believed in the power of community to drive meaningful change. Together with Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation and Oolio Giving, we're extending that spirit to multiply the impact and bring more people into the fight against cancer through research and patient care.

"At Oolio, our purpose is simple, we facilitate celebration. Hospitality is where life happens, milestones, wins, losses, and all the moments in between. When people celebrate, we believe it creates a meaningful opportunity to give back. Across thousands of venues, those everyday moments can become acts of kindness. One act of kindness leads to another, and together, we can help transform cancer from a terminal condition to a chronic one within the next decade," said Kris Satish, Group CEO of Oolio.

"Every time a venue offers the option, they're joining a community of people backing research that drives breakthroughs in how cancer is prevented, detected, and treated, that doesn't just change lives here in Australia, but around the world. It's a small act that creates a global impact, reminding us that true hospitality is about people caring for people."

The Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation is Australia's only public hospital solely dedicated to cancer, leading globally recognised research and providing world-class treatment. Every donation, no matter the size, helps fuel their mission to find better ways to prevent, detect, and treat cancer, creating a lasting impact on individuals and the wider community.

"The Oolio partnership has genuinely blown my mind the more I've reflected on it. It matters deeply because it represents an organisation that has been and continues to be a committed donor to Peter Mac. Oolio has already invested in the research and care we deliver. Through their business model, they're creating an incredible opportunity to raise substantial funds that can truly shift the dial across critical areas of our work. This feels like a partnership where we combine the best of technology with the best of humanity, and the two combined can have significant community benefit.", said Craig Connelly, CEO, Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation.  
"When I think about the potential of the Oolio-Peter Mac partnership, it honestly tugs at the heartstrings. Raising meaningful funds over an extended period of time has the power to save people's lives, and I don't say that lightly. It will help drive research breakthroughs. It will support advancements in treatment and care. It will give people time, and it will allow more people facing cancer to live fuller, better lives. The potential of this opportunity is extraordinary."

Since launching this pilot program, the response from our venues has been nothing short of inspiring.

Renato Chilelli, owner of Meat Flour Wine, shared, "Being a part of Oolio Giving was easy for me because Peter Mac was involved. The more people who choose to give, the more you're giving back to the community. Fifty cents or a dollar is not a lot for most people, but at the end of the year, it could add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Every little bit counts, and we are happy to make a difference."
