Have the bushfires impacted you?

In light of the bushfires in New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia, we’ve extended our Emergency Assistance Package for customers and businesses affected, including volunteer firefighters who bank with us.

You might also be able to get financial assistance from the government if you’ve been affected by the bushfires throughout Australia recently.
