Unique individuals
We want all our employees and customers to feel included, valued and welcome when they come to work or walk into our branches, and offices.
We are focusing on a broad range of solutions and initiatives, to ensure our workforce reflects and meets the diverse needs of our customers and communities.
LGBTI (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex)
Everyone has the right to feel comfortable to be themselves when they come to work.
For our LGBTI people, that means offering a safe and respectful work environment where everyone is treated equally and feels included and valued.
People with disability and accessibility
We are committed to providing a supportive culture and creating inclusive and accessible workplaces, branches and services for our people and customers.
With 1 in 5 Australians living with disability, our commitment is for the long term and we are regularly reviewing our progress and looking for ways to innovate.
Domestic and family violence
We want to empower our people, customers and members of the communities we serve experiencing violence in the home to move towards a life free from violence.
We are doing this by providing tailored products and support for our customers, and People Leader training, support and tools and a work environment where employees experiencing family violence feel safe and supported to seek help.
