This NAIDOC Week, IMB Bank acknowledges the theme “The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy” —a tribute to the resilience, foresight, and cultural heritage of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

We honour the Strength of First Nations communities and their deep connection to Country and Culture.

We’re inspired by the Vision of those who’ve paved the way – sharing knowledge, uplifting communities, and guiding future generations with wisdom and care.

And we reflect on the Legacy of Elders and change makers, while celebrating the next generation shaping a brighter future.

We encourage everyone to get involved by attending NAIDOC Week events in your local community —an opportunity to listen, learn, and stand together.

“The funding from the IMB Bank Community Foundation will give us the ability to educate thousands of people about Float to Survive – across Australia.” That’s Ken Holloway (pictured, left), President of the Sandon Point Surf Lifesaving Club, describing exactly the kind of difference a Foundation grant can make on a volunteer-led community program like Float to Survive. In this case, amplifying essential skills for staying safe in natural water.

Maybe it’s the language spoken at home, the recipes passed down through generations, or the traditions that bring your family together. This #HarmonyWeek, let’s take the time to listen, learn, and celebrate the cultures that make our communities stronger.

Whether it’s trying a new dish, supporting diverse businesses, or simply making space for different voices, every small action helps create a more inclusive Australia. Because no matter where our stories begin, everyone belongs. 🧡

With help from Olympic swimming LEGEND, Dr Shane Gould AM, the Float to Survive campaign launched this month, with “active floating” classes in the Illawarra – at Northern Stars Swim School on Friday evenings and Sandon Point SLSC on Saturday mornings – till the end of March.

We have been blown away by the generosity of the community for this year’s The Salvation Army Australia Christmas Appeal. Hundreds of donations were received in our branches and head office, which will go a long way to making a difference in the lives of those doing it tough this festive season.

Seeing the hard work by a collective of community and local business volunteers at the Wollongong Salvation Army branch to get all the donations to their recipients was an inspiring experience.

IMB are proud of our continued partnership with the Salvation Army and we wish to thank everyone who contributed to this great cause.
