You are welcome to attend the AGM which is usually held in November. At the AGM, active owners can:

1) Participate in our Governance

2) Ask questions about and share your thoughts on our strategy, financial standing and performance

3) Ask questions of the auditor about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the auditor’s report

4) Vote on any resolutions put to the meeting, including resolutions to amend our Constitution

In the event there is a special resolution requiring a vote and you are unable to attend the meeting, you can make your wishes known by appointing a proxy to cast a vote on your behalf.

As an owner, you have the right to nominate to become a director. Great Southern Bank is heavily regulated and therefore nominees will need to have the right competencies before being considered for nomination for election as a director. We typically call for Board nominations in early July and further information is available below.

You can choose the extent to which you wish to participate in our corporate life. We hope that you will see your relationship with Great Southern Bank as valuable and that you can assist in helping us grow and evolve as a business.

Annual Report

Every year, we produce an Annual Report which provides information about our financial position and performance for that year. It also gives you, our customers and owners, information on the strategic direction and management of the company, the broader economic and regulatory environment and the financial and non-financial risks facing the organisation.

The Annual Report is published around mid-October each year and downloadable versions of previous reports are available at gsb.com.au/annual report
