December 2025
As we approach the end of 2025, we want to thank all Members for your continued support. 

Being a mutual bank owned by our customers is both a privilege and a real advantage. It means we can focus on long-term value - not short-term returns. Our profits stay here, reinvested into improving Member experiences and supporting programs that help nurses, teachers and allied health professionals get a stronger start in life. 

To our Members who choose to bank with us - thank you. Your money is helping create real impacts in the communities we serve. 

Wishing you a safe and restful end to the year - and our thanks to those working throughout the holiday period.

Stay safe!
A TIP welcome to all
When you step onto the grounds of Quarry Hill Primary School in regional Victoria, everyone is welcome! 

A 2025 Teaching Initiatives Program (TIP) grant was used to purchase signage saying 'welcome' in more than 30 languages, representing the families attending the school.
