Our CEO, Liz Mackinlay, was thrilled to be on a panel for a NAB colleague forum, where she showcased upcoming volunteering opportunities and highlighted our collaboration with NAB. This partnership began in 2017 with a co-design workshop between NAB and ABV. The partnership extended into supporting community recovery and preparedness post the black summer bushfires and continues to this day. Now our corporate skilled volunteering programs have reached communities across Victoria, supporting those affected by disasters.
The session reached thousands of NAB employees, with community partners and NAB staff together in the room. Liz Mackinlay spoke about how Louise Longley, NAB Head of Insurance, pioneered a solution for Batemans Bay Local Aboriginal Land Council. This innovation empowers Local Aboriginal Land Councils to offer accessible cultural burning services, potentially revolutionising disaster resilience for Australia and integrating First Nations practices into our land management systems.
