Our community involvement

We’re committed to making a positive and sustainable impact and play an active role in the communities in which our people live and work.

Our community involvement is significant through volunteering, workplace giving, partnerships, grants and supporting First Nations businesses to create stronger communities. We also play a role in supporting Australians before, during and after natural disasters with NAB’s Ready Together program.

Whether you volunteer your time and skills, donate, fundraise or play another part in securing a sustainable future we’ll give you opportunities to make a positive difference to our customers, colleagues, communities and the environment.

Volunteering opportunities

We’ve contributed more than two million volunteer hours to communities over the past 20 years, helping tackle some of the country’s biggest social and environmental issues. When you join NAB, you’ll be encouraged to take time either individually or as part of your team to get involved and make a difference to your local communities.

We give our colleagues 16 hours of general volunteer leave each year to make a positive impact. We partner with community organisations that make a real difference across Australia. If you’re passionate about a cause, you can organise your own volunteering directly with a charity you care deeply about.

Volunteering secondments

For employees who want to invest more in a social issue by volunteering their expertise, NAB has skilled volunteering secondments that help not-for-profits deepen their impact. From a few days to six weeks long, the secondments are available using NAB’s unlimited skilled volunteering leave.

Customer Strategy Challenges

We partner with Australian Business Volunteers to run skilled volunteering challenges where our colleagues use their skills and expertise to unpack a strategic business problem for a customer. The unique 10-day immersive experience drives sustainable social change, a workable solution for our valued customer and builds leadership capabilities in our colleagues.

Jawun Indigenous business secondments

Colleagues travel to the Kimberleys in Western Australia for six weeks to support an Indigenous social and economic project. This is an immersive and deeply impactful cultural experience.

Disaster resilience and recovery program

Colleagues use their skills to help community groups and small businesses impacted by natural disasters. Volunteer roles are carefully scoped so that colleagues use their expertise to produce results that make a real difference to disaster affected communities.

Workplace giving

NAB also supports colleagues to donate to more than 500 NAB customer charities via one-off or recurring donations from their pre-tax pay.

NAB Foundation
