We are so proud to announce the successful recipients of our 2026 Community Grants Program! 🎉

This round, we were thrilled to support six wonderful local projects through our Community Grants Under $5,000 program.

Each of these projects reflects exactly what community banking is all about — real funding for real local impact, made possible by the support of our incredible customers and shareholders.

We absolutely cannot wait to share more about each of these projects as they come to life.

A huge congratulations to all of our successful applicants. We are so excited to see what you achieve. 💜

Andrew Netherway, Geoffrey Tresidder, and Ross Daikin have each been recognised with a national medal honouring 15 years of dedicated service to the Kennett River Surf Life Saving Club. 🏅

15 years of early mornings, long summers, and countless hours keeping their community safe. That kind of commitment is something truly special.

Our communities simply wouldn't exist the way they do without the people who give their time, energy, and heart to keeping others safe. Volunteers like Andrew, Geoffrey, and Ross are the backbone of everything we love about living in this part of the world.

On behalf of everyone at Community Bank Apollo Bay & District, thank you. We are so proud to be part of a community that produces people like you.

Three Kennett River lifesavers have been recognised with national medals for their dedication and service.

There's nothing quite like an Apollo Bay summer at the beach, and we all know it wouldn't be the same without the incredible volunteers of the Apollo Bay SLSC watching over us. 🌊☀️

We're proud to announce our continued support with a $3,000 Silver Sponsorship for 2026!

From the locals who swim year round to the thousands of visitors who flock to our shores each summer, our SLSC volunteers give up their time to keep everyone safe. It's a big job, and they do it with so much heart.

As a community bank, backing the people and organisations that protect and strengthen Apollo Bay is exactly what we're here to do.
Thank you to every single volunteer at Apollo Bay SLSC, you are truly appreciated. 💙
