We are proud to partner with NAB as a charity banking customer and charity partner, both at head office and local level. NAB have donated over $100,000 in grants, sponsorship, workplace giving, customer fundraising, cause-related marketing and in-kind support.
World Heart Day
Each year for World Heart Day, NAB Newtown decks out the branch with HRI balloons, banners, collection tins and posters to raise vital funds and bring awareness around cardiovascular disease to the community. HRI representatives have set up in NAB Newtown’s premium window space to do blood pressure and pulse checks for customers, detecting for atrial fibrillation, which puts people at risk of stroke.
Workplace giving
Staff across NAB are also generous supporters of our work through NAB’s workplace giving program, where NAB matches every cent donated by their employees. You can find out more about how to donate to the HRI through workplace giving here.

NAB 2019 Graduates
In 2019 a committee of NAB’s graduate intake in Sydney voted on the HRI as their charity of choice and put together an impressive program of activities including office fundraising, fielding a team in the City 2 Surf, fundraising at a table tennis competition, a health check drive for World Heart Day, and an evening event.

In-kind and other support
We are grateful to NAB for supporting us with professional expertise, venue space, opportunities to engage with staff, working space and training opportunities free of charge.
NAB Community Grant
In 2016, the HRI were proud to award our inaugural career re-start grant. The award is to acknowledge and help overcome some of the barriers women in science face – in particular, the challenge to remain competitive while on maternity leave. A grant of $60,000 was awarded to one of our Group Leaders to help her kick-start her research output on return from maternity leave by employing a research assistant. This award was made possible thanks to a NAB Community Grant.
