In marking the official 2025 renewal of its longstanding partnership with Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) North Australia today, Queensland Country Bank CEO Aaron Newman said banking with heart was an important mission for his team.
Queensland Country Bank has been a committed partner of RMHC North Australia for more than six years, helping provide essential services and comfort to sick and injured children and their families across the region. The renewed partnership for 2025 strengthens this foundation, reinforcing a shared dedication to community, care, and making a real difference in the lives of local families.
"Queensland Country Bank's support is vital to the services we provide and we are so pleased to have them continue on this journey with us as our Charity Partner," said Tamara South, CEO Ronald McDonald House Charities North Australia.
"Their team brings heart to everything they do, whether it's preparing fresh meals for our House families, supporting our fundraising events, or helping fund essential services. This is what a true partnership looks like."
Queensland Country Bank will continue to champion RMHC's mission through volunteerism, community engagement, and financial support, making a tangible difference for families navigating the challenges of serious childhood illness or injury.
"I am incredibly proud of our enduring partnership with RMHC North Australia, it is one that reflects our unwavering commitment to supporting families in their time of need," said Aaron Newman, CEO of Queensland Country Bank.
"It's humbling to see our team give their time and energy, whether through the Hospitality Carts or fundraising efforts at our Townsville Head Office and right across the state. Together, we're helping bring hope to families facing immense challenges."
This renewed partnership ensures the ongoing delivery of vital RMHC programs, including accommodation, meals, and outreach services, helping to keep families close to their children during medical treatment, while reducing the emotional and financial burden of serious illness.
