The bank has pledged to donate $500,000 nationally over the next few months, to recognise organisations that make a difference in the communities in which we live and work. Each Commonwealth Bank branch and customer-facing team has been allocated $500 to donate to causes important to the community.
The Goulburn team voted to support the great work of Goulburn Palliative Care and Oncology Support Group.
Group member Sue Hannan said she was thrilled to receive the generous donation.
"The donation will be put to good use locally," she said.
Branch manager Noel Ottoway said after a challenging start to the year, with devastating bushfires and now the coronavirus pandemic, it was timely to give back to organisations who did good work in our community.
"We are pleased to support Goulburn Palliative Care and Oncology Support Group," he said.
"In particular, Goulburn Palliative Care and Oncology Support Group have not been able to do any fundraising this year due to the COVID-19 outbreak so it's great to be able to support them in this great work."
