August 7 is National Aged Care Employee Day, a time to recognise and celebrate the dedication, compassion, and commitment of aged care workers across the country. We see this day as an important opportunity to show our appreciation for the individuals who play such a vital role in supporting our communities.
Standing with our key workers
Aged care employees are an important part of our communities, providing essential care and dignity to some of the most vulnerable Australians. We proudly support aged care workers through our membership, partner networks, and tailored financial services, recognising them as a vital part of our broader key worker community.
As a mutual bank, our mission is driven not by profit, but by people. That means backing essential workers with products and services designed to ease financial stress and help them thrive, like our Essential Worker Home Loan, created specifically for those in caring and community service roles.
Values-based banking that makes a difference
Our support for aged care employees reflects our values-based approach to banking, one guided by integrity, fairness, and a commitment to social impact. We believe financial services should be a force for lasting positive change, benefiting not only individuals but the broader community.
That’s why we continue to back initiatives that uplift essential workers and invest in those who give so much. Being named the 2024 Finder Innovation Award winner in the Social Impact Innovation category is a testament to our dedication to developing products and services that go beyond expectations, delivering real, meaningful support where it’s needed most.
Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) in action
Our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategy reinforces our focus on social responsibility and community wellbeing. Supporting aged care workers sits firmly within our social impact pillar, acknowledging that sustainability includes caring for those who sustain our communities every day.
We also engage with organisations aligned to this vision, amplifying the impact of those who advocate for aged care staff, enhance training, and promote wellbeing within the sector.
To all aged care employees, thank you. Your care, dedication, and hard work make a real difference every day. You help bring comfort, dignity, and connection to so many in our communities.
