Advocacy
As Australia’s 10th largest mutual bank, we have a role to play in advocating not only for our Members but for causes our sector, partners and communities care about.
We advocate for our Members
We are well represented at partner conferences every year. Our connections with associations in this sector are deep and meaningful.
Meeting with organisations like the Victorian Principals’ Association provides an insight into what’s happening on the ground and how we support our educators.
The heath sector is critical to a well-functioning society, and yet the challenges our nurses and healthcare professionals face are immense.
We attend numerous industry events and conferences each year to understand the issues important to them and then act on that knowledge to be a more meaningful bank for healthcare.
Bank First is a member of the Community Owned Banking Association (COBA) and the Business Council of Co-operatives and Mutuals (BCCM).
In 2025, we will continue to emphasise the importance of our sector during the United Nation's International Year of Cooperatives.
