Why we do what we do
The world is changing and so are we, but we are committed to making a change for the better in our communities.
At CUA we care about our communities and are always seeking ways to create opportunities for our staff and our members to make positive contributions to our communities.
The purpose of our community investment program is to foster positive social change through the support of community organisations, programs and charity projects. Our staff, are passionately involved in our community activities and we encourage members to take up the challenge to join us in changing lives for the better. The efforts we make - no matter how small the contribution, will help make a difference to our communities now and for future generations.
CUA Community Care - Rallying passionate communities across Australia to support local schools
Learn how 83 schools inspired over 40,000 voters to support them in vying for a share of $50,000 towards their selected school project. Watch our video to find out more.
Here are some other exciting ways we're making changes for the better:
- We’re supporting the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) to raise awareness and funds by selling pink merchandise in CUA branches and have given Facebook users the opportunity to show their support for the NBCF by turning their profile pictures pink.
- We’re giving our local schools a healthy change to traditional fundraising drives as a national sponsor of the School Fun Run program.
- We provide financial products, services and consultation to the indigenous population through First Nations Foundation.
- We help our people become change agents in their local communities, we provide them with one paid day a year to volunteer at a community group or charity. They can spend their day working on one of the projects that we currently support or other worthwhile causes of their choice.
