The Community Bank Tugun are Platinum Partners and huge supporters of PBC students! From sponsoring the PBC Bus to supporting our Sustainability program Comedy Writing program and our Financial Literacy program, the Community Bank are long time supporters that have made many projects come to life to help our students reach their potential.

Since the branch opened February 2003 we have made $1.7 Million in Community Contributions. Providing communities with a sustainable future. There is an overarching philosophy behind much of the work carried out by Bendigo and Adelaide Bank in both its day-to-day banking activities and in the work it does with Australian communities on activities unrelated to banking. In particular, our Community Bank® initiative continues to resonate with customers and their communities a decade after it was first introduced. Community Bank® branches provide communities with more than just quality banking services – they deliver employment opportunities for local people, keep local capital in the community, are a local investment option for shareholders and provide a source of revenue for important community projects determined by the local community.
