Australia's banks and financial institutions: it’s time to step up

COVID-19 has exposed how quickly our financial situations can change.

Australia’s major banks have made a good start by committing to some debt repayment relief, but these measures don’t go far enough to match the scale and urgency of a crisis like this.

Together, we can send the message that the banks must respond with empathy and fairness to show that they can be a responsible part of the COVID-19 response. To get through this together no company can sit this one out.
