Eltham Redbacks FC is proud to announce that Jellis Craig North East has renewed its commitment as a Platinum Sponsor for 2026, extending a partnership that now spans close to a decade. Few businesses have supported the Redbacks for as long or as consistently as Jellis Craig, and their connection to the club remains one of the most meaningful in our community.
The relationship began almost ten years ago with Director Aaron Yates. A simple conversation turned into a long-standing partnership built on shared values, mutual respect and a genuine commitment to community sport. Since then, Jellis Craig has backed everything from trivia nights to jumper presentations, and the team has become deeply woven into the fabric of the Redbacks.
Reflecting on the partnership, Aaron explained that supporting local clubs is not a marketing exercise, it’s about giving back to the community they serve.
“We draw everything we do from the local community. Sponsoring clubs is our way of giving back. There’s always a connection, someone’s child plays here, a staff member has family involved, or a client has ties to the club. We love hearing what goes on at the Redbacks and we always enjoy being involved when we can.”
Jellis Craig North East supports a wide corridor of suburbs across Eltham, Hurstbridge, Greensborough, Ivanhoe and Rosanna. Their experienced sales and property management teams have been delivering premium results for more than 25 years, backed by the reach of one of Melbourne’s leading boutique real estate networks. The local office’s strong community ties are reflected not only in sponsorship, but in regular involvement with Redbacks families, often helping parents, coaches and club members buy or sell homes across the region.
Aaron also spoke about the current property market and how his team is helping locals navigate a period of change.
“It’s been a tough couple of years for a lot of people, but the market is turning. Whether someone is buying, selling or leasing, we’re always happy to take a call. There’s no such thing as ‘too early’ when it comes to getting advice, and sometimes people just need someone to listen and provide guidance.”
For Redbacks members, the pathway to support is simple: get in touch with any of the local Jellis Craig North East offices and mention you’re from the club. You’ll be directed to Aaron or one of the team members who work closely with us.
We thank Aaron, Jamin, Tom, Scott and the entire Jellis Craig North East team for their long-standing partnership. Their belief in the Redbacks has supported the growth of our junior NPL programs, strengthened our senior pathways and contributed to one of the most successful periods in our history.
