Community Programs 2022/2023

Thanharru!

IBN is excited to be making the Community Programs for the 2022/2023 financial year available to our IBN Community.

The Community Programs are funded by the IBN Charitable Foundation and are reviewed and updated every year by the IBN Board.

IBN’s membership base has now grown to over 1,600 members, and the Board and Staff hope that all our members will be pleased with the benefits that are available this financial year.

The Community Programs for this financial year have been developed based on great feedback received from our members via the member survey that was released in March of this year.

The benefits available this year are based upon the below responses received from our members:

  • Increase benefits
  • Give members more flexibility and choice
  • Make claiming far quicker
  • More support for Elders (Increase the access to Health assistance)
  • Easier access to members money

This financial year, members also have the option of applying for their benefits via webforms on our new website.

This will be our starting point for IBN’s commitment of introducing a Member Portal, which we are working hard on to make available to members.
