Brisbane 2032<\/a>, CommBank\u2019s commitment reflects long term investment in small businesses, local communities and athletes ahead of, during and beyond 2032.<\/p>\nMatt Comyn, CommBank CEO, said: \u201cThis is an important moment for Australia. Events like our home Olympic and Paralympic Games create real momentum for communities and meaningful opportunities for local businesses and the broader economy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAs Australia\u2019s largest bank, we\u2019re proud to play our part to help realise that potential. Becoming Founding Partner reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting all Australians and helping ensure the benefits of the Games are felt in the lead up to 2032 and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Brisbane 2032 Paralympic Games will take place from 24 August to 5 September 2032.<\/p>\n
Brisbane 2032 is expected to drive significant economic activity across Queensland and the broader Australian economy, while showcasing Australia on the global stage with around five billion people following the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.<\/p>\n
Independent analysis commissioned at the time of Brisbane\u2019s bid estimated up to $17.6 billion in national economic benefit and $8.1 billion for Queensland over a 20-year period over the life of the Games and its legacy impacts. Additionally, analysis projected the Games to support more than 120,000 full-time equivalent jobs, across construction, tourism, hospitality and event delivery.<\/p>\n
Andrew Liveris, Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games Organising Committee President said: \u201cI\u2019m delighted to welcome Australia\u2019s largest bank and one of the most recognised brands in our country as our inaugural partner for the Games. CommBank\u2019s commitment to partner with us long-term shows their clear intent to support our athletes, businesses and nation realise collective full potential on the world stage in six years time.<\/p>\n
\u201cOver the coming years, CommBank and Brisbane 2032 will create opportunity, drive growth and showcase the very best of who we are and what we can achieve together, setting Brisbane, Queensland and Australia up for generations of success beyond 2032.\u201d<\/p>\n
Through its partnership with the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, CommBank will focus on helping Australians move beyond doubt and realise their potential, whether in a sport, in community or in business. This will include backing athletes, supporting youth participation, investing in community initiatives. Through its roles as Founding Partner, CommBank will provide educational resources and support for local businesses through the Brisbane 2032 supplier portal.<\/p>\n
For more than 35 years, CommBank has supported Australian sport, from grassroots programs to elite levels. This partnership builds on that legacy and strengthens its support for the next generation of Australian athletes.<\/p>\n
Two-time Paralympian Rae Anderson said: \u201cOur Games in 2032 is a chance to show what\u2019s possible when sport reflects the full diversity of our community. For Paralympians, representation matters because it shifts perceptions and helps more people see themselves in sport. Having CommBank as a Founding Partner sends a strong signal about inclusion and opportunity, with more support for athletes and inspiration for the next generation to believe, become and belong on the world stage.\u201d<\/p>\n
Under the agreement, CommBank will hold a suite of official partnership titles including, but not limited to: Founding Partner, Premium Partner and Banking Partner of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Australian Olympic Committee and Paralympics Australia.
