NAB Ready Together

As Australians face more frequent natural disasters, there’s a growing need to help communities become more resilient.

We’re playing our part through NAB Ready Together, opens in new window. This NAB and NAB Foundation flagship program helps Australians withstand and recover from natural disasters. When you’re threatened by bushfires, floods or cyclones, we'll be there. 

Whatever comes, we’re ready together.

 

“Forecasts indicate these disasters are only going to come more often. As a bank that’s here to serve customers well and help our communities prosper, we must help.”

Ross McEwan, CEO
