A note from our CEO, Andrew Hadley
The foundations of our organisation were established some 60 years ago, when small communities of people in the police, nursing and farming sectors banded together to create their own ‘banks’, in response to their exclusion from access to mainstream lending institutions of the era.
Today, as a contemporary customer-owned bank for all, the fundamental principles of collectivism, collaboration and inclusion remain proudly and deeply woven throughout our organisation.
Our very purpose is to enrich the lives of our members and their communities, and our constitution directs us “to promote, encourage and bring about human and social development among individual customers and within the larger community within which customers work and reside”.
Underpinned by our constitution, purpose, belief, and values, we’re focused on building an inclusive workplace, and belonging for our employees, our customers and their communities.
In alignment with this commitment to reconciliation, our Board and Executive believe we need to create a better future and will continue to advocate for a more inclusive society to benefit all Australians.
Through our Reconciliation Strategy, we are playing a role in advancing employee education and awareness and community relationships and engagement for First Nations and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.
