About Community First

Community First Credit Union is a financially sound and well managed financial institution that has been in operation since 1959. We are a mutual organisation, which means that we are Member owned and are run for the benefit of our Members, not for external shareholder profit.

Celebrating 50 years of working Australians helping each other out

For fifty years, our focus has been on building financial relationships that deliver value to Members through standards of service superior than our competitors, fairer fees and competitive interest rates on savings and loans.

We've come a long way from growing up in the 60's before we powered on swinging in to the 70's, lived life in the fast lane in the 80's, swam against the tide in the 90's and sailed in to the 21st century. And we're not stopping there.
