Major Community Sponsorships

Queensland Country is proud to be the Official Banking Partner of the Cairns Taipans. The Taipans are an NBL Team, and the only national sports team located in Cairns currently playing its 23rd season this year. The Australian NBL recently expanded to 10 teams and secured its biggest broadcast deal in competition history: a $20million ESPN agreement with the Foxtel Group and News Corp Australia. Taipan’s matches are streamed live on Kayo with Channel 10 Peach hosting two live NBL games per week from 1-5pm on Sunday. The Taipans are also the only club that boast an Indigenous Program, with TIP (Taipans Indigenous Program) regularly servicing remote areas of Queensland and using basketball as a vehicle to promote healthy lifestyles and education.

Queensland Country has been a long term major sponsor of the Cowboys, and was excited to extend the commitment to the 2015 NRL Premiers by becoming the official banking partner of the club in 2016.

This partnership has been celebrated with a series of exciting initiatives:

• A planned Queensland Country traineeship for a Cowboys Under-20s player
• Partnering with the Cowboys’ Learn Earn Legend! program, which provides education support to Indigenous students in Years 11 and 12 and having a trainee from the program at Queensland Country.
• Crackles attends every Home Game and gives one lucky attendee the chance to win with our ‘Bring Home the Bacon’ competition
• The Cowboys appeared in our flagship product campaign for SmartBudget – watch below

Queensland Country and the Cowboys are both proud of their strong community focus throughout Queensland, especially in regional areas.
