Diversity & Inclusion at Great Southern Bank
At Great Southern Bank, we’re stronger and greater together.
We are proud to be an inclusive and diverse workplace where people feel a sense of belonging, are valued, connected and respected.
With over 1,200 team members throughout Australia, we value diversity and believe it’s the unique differences, ideas, backgrounds, and experiences of our people that help us deliver great experiences for our customers and the communities we operate in.
Commitment
Great Southern Bank is committed to embracing the diversity of our people and providing an environment that is fair, accessible, flexible, and inclusive for everyone regardless of background, sexual orientation, disability, or any other personal characteristic that make our people unique.
We extend this commitment to all areas of our business and decision-making, ensuring we can attract, retain, develop, reward and support our people to thrive at work and reach their full potential.
Diversity and Inclusion Council
Our Diversity and Inclusion Council is led by our CEO and made up of our Executive Committee. They play a key role in creating strategic accountability for results connected to business outcomes, providing guidance and promoting successes across the organisation.
Belonging
We want our people to feel included and that they belong. Creating that sense of inclusion is important to us.
Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) support the sense of belonging and are a network of team members who connect and play an active role in building an inclusive culture. Celebrating cultural events, national days of recognition, or influencing for positive change are just some of the activities our ERGs and ally members get involved in.
Sponsored by an Executive Committee member we have three active ERGs:
- Gender Balance (Gender Equity and Flexibility)
- Pride Tribe (LGBTIQ+ and Allies)
- 195+ (Cultural Diversity)
We are proud to be recognised as an Inclusive Employer through the Diversity Council of Australia and are a member of Pride in Diversity.
Our commitment to Gender Equality
As part of the Workplace Gender Equality Act (2012), we submitted our annual public report for 2023-2024 to the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) which tracks and monitors progress towards gender equality.
