A Shared Vision of Community Support with the Commonwealth Bank

Bronwyn Shacallis, Area Manager for Penrith at the Commonwealth Bank, first connected with Cancer Wellness Support through a Women With Altitude gathering, where she met our CEO, Deborah Shepherd. Their shared values quickly became evident, and they envisioned creating something impactful for the two Wellness Centres and the local community.

Bronwyn’s commitment is deeply personal, having lost her best friend, mother, and a staff member to cancer within a year. Before meeting Deborah, she was unaware that a place like Cancer Wellness Support existed for those living with cancer and their families.

Overseeing a vast geographic area and a large team, Bronwyn finds her involvement with Cancer Wellness Support provides her and her team with a sense of connection and purpose. Through the staff community fund, CBA has been able to provide financial support, and simple acts, like providing warm blankets, have made a tangible difference.

Bronwyn believes that by focusing on building a positive, generous workplace, her team is making a real impact. She finds this involvement deeply rewarding and is inspired to continue this important work, which perfectly aligns with CBA’s values of community support.
