500 volunteers at the Show

In a massive volunteering effort some 500 NAB employees are helping out at the 150th Royal Melbourne Show which runs until 1 October.

NAB is a principal sponsor of the Show and is also sponsoring the NAB Animal Nursery Discovery Farm, one of the most popular attractions for visitors.

Our volunteers are assisting in a number of areas including crowd marshalling, customer service, banking services, catering for the Show's workers and helping judges with the formidable task of judging hundreds of competitions.

NAB employees are entitled to two paid volunteer days a year.

During August, our volunteers completed 560 days with organisations around the country including Conservation Volunteers Australia, World Vision Australia and The Cancer Council.

Overall, our employees completed 6,400 days of paid volunteer leave last year - that's about 1.5 million dollars of in-kind community work.

As many employees are desk-bound, getting out and about in their communities and making a difference makes them feel great!
