This year’s theme 'Now More Than Ever' emphasises the ongoing fight for justice and equality for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. It's a call to action that acknowledges there's been progress, but significant work remains. To reflect our on our own journey, our Organisation Capability teams joined members of our Employee Network Groups, our RAP Working Group and MOB@BEN members today for a Walk on Country experience held in multiple locations. Pictured in Adelaide, located on the traditional Country of the Kaurna people we were joined by Isaac Hannam, a proud Kaurna and Ngarrindjeri man and Haydyn Bromley from Bookabee, a descendant of the Adnyamathanha, Yarluyandi and Narungga peoples. #BendigoBank #BetterBigBank #NRW2024
