What a wonderful evening!

Last week, we were proud to celebrate an incredible milestone—more than $1 million invested back into our community through Community Bank Daylesford District since opening in 2012.

It was a privilege to be joined by more than 100 guests, including representatives from 45 local community organisations, along with current and former Board members, Bank staff, and community partners.

These photos capture just some of the people who have helped shape this journey. Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate, and to everyone who has supported Community Bank Daylesford District over the past 14 years.

Here's to continuing to invest in the people, projects and organisations that make our community such a special place to call home.

Community Bank Daylesford District Reaches $1 Million Milestone 🎉

Daylesford Health was proud to join 45 local organisations in celebrating a remarkable milestone for Community Bank Daylesford District, with more than $1 million returned to the community over the past 14 years.

During this time, Daylesford Health has received more than $60,000 in funding, helping us purchase vital medical equipment, improve facilities, support fundraising initiatives and strengthen healthcare services for our region.

Most recently, Community Bank Daylesford District awarded $12,100 towards the purchase of a wall-mounted monitor for our Urgent Care department. This contribution forms part of our major fundraising campaign ahead of the Daylesford Health Foundation fundraiser at Lake House in January 2027.

As a rural health service, we are incredibly grateful for the Community Bank's ongoing support and commitment to local healthcare. Their investment helps ensure our community can continue to access high-quality care close to home.
Thank you, Community Bank Daylesford District, for helping make a difference in the lives of local people.

It was a fantastic evening, bringing together more than 100 guests, including representatives from 45 local community organisations, alongside current and former Board members, staff and community partners.

The evening was a celebration of the people, partnerships and projects that have made this milestone possible, and a reminder of the power of community banking to create lasting local impact.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Community Bank Daylesford District over the past 14 years. Together, we've invested more than $1 million back into our community—and we're just getting started.

The Daylesford Lawn Tennis Club has been bringing people together through sport, friendship and community for generations.

"When our Club Championships began to lose momentum after COVID, Community Bank Daylesford District helped us bring them back to life through grant funding for trophies and prizes.

The result was more than a successful event. Participation increased by 120%, members stayed to socialise throughout the day, and we've since seen more volunteers stepping forward to support the Club. It's a wonderful example of how community investment can create benefits well beyond what was originally intended.

We're incredibly grateful for the Bank's ongoing support, from sponsorship and junior development through to funding our defibrillator and helping strengthen our Club for the future."

– Gary Thomas, President, Daylesford Lawn Tennis Club

Safe Place Homes is a volunteer-run community organisation working to increase the supply of social and affordable housing across Hepburn Shire, because everyone deserves a safe place to live.

"Community Bank Daylesford District has been a faithful supporter of Safe Place Homes over many years. Their grants have helped us research affordable housing needs, establish our website, and most recently develop resources to encourage more small, affordable homes in our community.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the Bank, its directors and staff, for their generous and ongoing support. Community Bank Daylesford District is truly a keystone for our community, sharing its resources for the benefit of all in Daylesford and surrounds."

For more than 40 years, the Daylesford Rotary Art Show has celebrated artistic excellence while raising funds that are reinvested into projects benefiting our local community and communities beyond.

"It has been both a pleasure and a privilege to work with the staff of Community Bank Daylesford District. Their patience, encouragement and willingness to guide us through the grant application process have been invaluable.

The Bank's sponsorship has contributed far more than financial assistance. It helps us attract outstanding artists, present a high-quality exhibition and raise funds that are returned to the community through the work of Rotary. Their contribution strengthens our community, enriches our cultural life and helps improve the lives of countless people."

– Jenny Hopkins, Daylesford Rotary Art Show

The Daylesford Community Brass Band has been bringing music to our region for generations, performing at community events, ANZAC Day services, Christmas Carols and celebrations across Hepburn Shire.

"We've been incredibly grateful for the ongoing support of Community Bank Daylesford District since the Bank opened in 2012. Annual sponsorship helps cover the day-to-day running of the Band, while grants have enabled us to purchase new uniforms and instruments.

Following COVID, the Bank's support gave us the breathing space we needed to reset and continue doing what we love—providing musical entertainment and education for our community. Their support helps ensure we can continue performing at community events throughout the year."

– Shani Clark, President, Daylesford Community Brass Band

Radical Fields is a Glenlyon-based artist-run organisation that brings together art, ecology, agriculture and community through festivals, exhibitions, performances and creative collaborations.

"Community Bank Daylesford District supported Radical Fields as the carbon neutral sponsor of our 2025 Harvest Arts Festival, enabling us to purchase 180 saplings to offset the event and embed environmental responsibility into the project. Their support also funded the design and layout of our festival catalogue, helping us create a publication that carries the life of the festival beyond the event itself.

Together, this support helped us deliver a festival with greater ambition, care and integrity, while staying true to the values at the centre of Radical Fields."

– Ryan, Radical Fields
