We’re proud to support the 2026 Aussie Bird Count

Two Bank Australia customers talking to each other

An ethical bank helps protect nature and biodiveristy.

As a certified B CorpTM bank, we balance profit and purpose – and act on issues that matter to our customers. We know from our nature survey that our customers care deeply about nature, and want us to take action on biodiversity loss.

Our customers are why we help care for a conservation reserve – home to endangered South-eastern Red-tailed Black-Cockatoos, and other threatened species – and why we’re stepping up to support BirdLife Australia's 2026 Aussie Bird Count.

The other reason? Birds are great.

Join the 2026 Aussie Bird Count

Aussie Bird count is an annual citizen science initative by BirdLife Australia, Australia's largest bird conservation charity.

The Aussie Bird Count is a fun activity for people of all ages, inviting you to observe and count the birds in your local area. Whether you're in your backyard, a nearby park, at the beach, or even in the middle of town, every bird sighting counts.

With just 20 minutes during the Aussie Bird Count from 19-25 October, you can help build a picture of how our feathered friends are faring.

Every count on the free app contributes valuable data to BirdLife Australia, helping protect and better understand our country’s birdlife.

We're the first Australian bank with a conservation reserve – it’s one way we’re using the business of banking to help create a healthier planet.

Our conservation reserve is home to 251 native plant and 283 native animal species, including threatened and endangered species. Protecting nature and biodiversity is one of our key impact areas on behalf of our customers. Learn more about our nature and biodiversity strategy.

Bank Australia loves birds

Birds can be powerful indicators of ecosystem vitality, and by helping them thrive, we’re working towards a healthier planet for everyone.

Over the years, we’ve built a range of initiatives, partnerships and policies that aim to support healthier ecosystems, stronger conservation outcomes and a better future for Australia’s birdlife.

Ethical banking for the planet

As a customer-owned bank, we put customers first, balance purpose and profit, and make decisions that have a positive impact on people, communities and the planet. Being customer owned means our customers have a voice and a vote on how the bank is run. And the issues we take action on, including protecting nature and biodiversity.
