We are proud to partner with NAB as a charity banking customer and charity partner, both at head office and local level. NAB have donated over $100,000 in grants, sponsorship, workplace giving, customer fundraising, cause-related marketing and in-kind support.
World Heart Day
Each year for World Heart Day, NAB Newtown decks out the branch with HRI balloons, banners, collection tins and posters to raise vital funds and bring awareness around cardiovascular disease to the community. HRI representatives have set up in NAB Newtown’s premium window space to do blood pressure and pulse checks for customers, detecting for atrial fibrillation, which puts people at risk of stroke.
NAB Community Grant
In 2016, the HRI were proud to award our inaugural career re-start grant. The award is to acknowledge and help overcome some of the barriers women in science face – in particular, the challenge to remain competitive while on maternity leave. A grant of $60,000 was awarded to one of our Group Leaders to help her kick-start her research output on return from maternity leave by employing a research assistant. This award was made possible thanks to a NAB Community Grant.
