The Black Dog Institute is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to understanding, preventing and treating mental illness. With a vision to create a mentally healthier world, Black Dog works with scientists to discover the causes of illness and new treatments and placing focus on those with specific mental health needs like young people, Indigenous communities, men, and high-risk workforces.
Qudos Bank proudly support the Black Dog Institute by hosting events internally throughout the year to raise funds. In 2022, Qudos Bank donated $5,000 in support of the Black Dog Institute's vision and strategy.
In 2023, we participated in their ‘One Foot Forward’ challenge and raised $7,538.36 and walked a total of 10,513km to help raise awareness and funds for Mental Health in Australia.
We’re proud to support the wonderful work they do to help people in our community.
In late September 2023, we collaborated with Qudos Bank Arena to support them in packing Christmas Hampers to help support vulnerable Australians enjoy their Christmas time. From this collaborative effort, we managed to pack 591 hampers, which equates to 8,535kgs.
In December 2023, we also organised a food drive where our people donated various essential items to support Foodbank’s efforts to help struggling Australian families during the festive season.
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the lands on which we operate and pay our respects to Elders past and present, and to emerging community leaders. We also acknowledge the important role Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples continue to play within the communities in which Qudos Bank operates and where our team members reside.
