Bank of Melbourne is a major partner of the Penguin Foundation. Since 2014, Bank of Melbourne has provided ongoing funding and support for little penguin research on Phillip Island. Most recently, Bank of Melbourne has supported a new little penguin weighbridge on the Summerland Peninsula. The 'Bank of Melbourne Weighbridge' allows Phillip Island Nature Parks scientists to study little penguin feeding patterns at sea, providing valuable health information for their conservation today and into the future.

Kane Constructions has provided funding towards more fire-resistant habitat for little penguins on the Summerland Peninsula, an important step in protecting little penguins from increasing fire danger under climate change.
