Community partnerships
We've been part of the WA community for 125 years and we're proud to support, partner, and volunteer with a diverse group of local organisations.
Volunteering partnerships
Volunteering WA (VWA) is the peak body for volunteering in Western Australia. Through VWA, we volunteer at a range of community organisations that support those affected by family and domestic violence.
Foodbank provides emergency food assistance to people in need. We help prepare affordable and nutritious frozen meals, and sort and pack hampers for Foodbank's charity partners.
Ronald McDonald House supports the families of sick children from regional areas while they receive treatment in Perth. We lend a hand by preparing home-cooked meals for them.
ABCN brings businesses and schools together to address educational disadvantage. Our colleagues mentor students through fun workplace-based programs that develop their confidence and skills.
Jawun brings corporate, government and philanthropic organisations together to drive change in Indigenous communities. Bankwest supports colleagues to take time away from their work to support Jawun's mission.
