Welcome To The April Issue Of Communiqué
"ANZAC Day is almost upon us and we will remember all those servicemen and servicewomen who served and died and the contribution and suffering of all those who have served. Lest we forget."
A whole year has passed since COVID-19 disrupted us all in our day to day lives. This also impacted on how we acknowledged and paid tribute during Anzac Day in a very different way.
Over the past year, Defence personnel were tasked with operation COVID-19 ASSIST, and we thank all of those Defence personnel for your support and service during this difficult year.
We have continued to support the Defence community over this past year and through the Military Rewards Account have continued to assist our Charity Partners. Since account inception, over $230,000 has been donated to our charity partners Soldier On, Mates4Mates, RSL DefenceCare and Legacy Australia.
In this issue we highlight the success of Soldier On’s campaign – ‘March On’. This campaign is supporting raising money through sponsorship to walk 96km as individuals or in teams, in the month of March. 96km is the length of the Kokoda Trail, the track that was the location for the 1942 World War II campaign. Many of our staff have taken part in fundraising for the challenge and have raised over $14,500 for our charity partner.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to extend our appreciation to our members for their continuous support of Australian Military Bank.
John Brooks
Chair
