CBA is putting more than $18 million towards a range of prevention and support measures to be part of a community movement to address domestic and family violence in Australia. In addition to the Emergency Assistance Program, CBA has introduced initiatives including educating younger generations on gender equity principles and providing training to bank employees and financial counsellors across the country to identify and support those who might be victims of domestic and family violence. Catherine Fitzpatrick, General Manager of Group Customer Relations, Commonwealth Bank and chair of CBA's domestic violence working group said: "We know that financial abuse can impact the long-term financial wellbeing of our customers, particularly women, and our focus on financial education and supporting our customers in crisis is one way we can help. "Our customer response shows the need is great, and it's essential government, community and corporates work together.
