At a CommBank Financial Abuse Leadership Summit hosted in Sydney today, CBA CEO Matt Comyn launched Next Chapter Innovation, a new program that will see the bank partner with not-for-profit and social enterprise organisations to support projects designed to help victim-survivors in their long-term recovery.

Informed by The National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children 2022-2032, Next Chapter Innovation focuses on building support for some of the most at-risk Australians including First Nations and culturally and linguistically diverse communities, young people, people with a disability, older people and LGBTQI+ communities.

Next Chapter Innovation partners will have access to grants of $50,000, $100,000 or $200,000 plus executive support and mentoring, access to a think tank to leverage corporate expertise, and involvement in an inaugural conference to be hosted by CommBank.
