This report presents a summary of the operations of Queensland Country for the 12 months to June 2012.
Queensland Country Credit Union has performed well during a period of generally lower demand for credit.
General uncertainty around global and domestic economic
conditions, including some slowing of resource projects, has
resulted in greater caution when it comes to larger fi nancial
commitments. Along with other fi nancial institutions, we
have seen our Members reducing their debt levels and
increasing their savings. In this environment, it was pleasing
to see that our new loans issued was a little stronger
compared with the previous 12 months. Memberships also
grew by 3.7 percent during this period, demonstrating that
we continue to offer an attractive alternative banking option
within regional Queensland.
Our footprint in Queensland means that many Members
are involved, directly or indirectly, in the resources
sector. Recently, we have seen a small number of mine
closures and deferral of other projects. Fortunately, most
Members who have been impacted have found alternative
employment in an economy that is still performing solidly.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
The Total Assets of the Credit Union at June 30, 2012
were $1,167 million, representing a strong growth rate
of 8.3 percent. Net Profi t After Tax of $5.3 million was
achieved, down 2.7 percent from the previous year’s result.
Our Capital Adequacy ratio ended the year at a solid
12.94 percent.
Net Interest Income was steady at 2.55 percent and refl ects
the very competitive market in recent years.
Impairment expense for the year was $1.5 million, refl ecting
a small number of borrowers who have experienced
fi nancial diffi culties over the course of the fi nancial year.
The loan portfolio as a whole remains strong with arrears
levels of 0.85 percent and we are committed to working
with any borrowers who are experiencing fi nancial hardship.

OUR MEMBERS
In November 2011, we were excited to open our fi rst
branch in Gladstone, incorporating a new branch design and
utilising new technologies that we intend to progressively
extend across our branch network. Around the same time,
we made the diffi cult decision to close our Julia Creek
branch after serving that community for 17 years.
During the last fi nancial year, we continued to upgrade
our branch network, with full refurbishments completed in
Charters Towers and Jimboomba. We are proud to be able
to provide our staff and Members with modern facilities
where they can feel comfortable to discuss their fi nancial
and health insurance needs.
We have continued to develop our product range this year,
with notable developments including the extension of our
Eco Smart Loans, catering to Members who are looking to
improve the environmental sustainability of their home or
to purchase an environmentally friendly vehicle. Our ‘Mullet’
home loans, combining fi xed and variable components, also
proved very popular and attracted signifi cant attention with
an innovative marketing campaign.
We were also pleased to extend our Retirement Savings
Account (RSAs) to offer a Fixed Term investment option,
in addition to the variable option that we have offered
for a number of years to Members looking for a low-risk
superannuation product.
OUR COMMUNITIES
We have again continued our Community Grants program,
with more than $1.5 million distributed to community groups
throughout Queensland since 2004. Our grants assessment
process involves community leaders conducting an initial
review with local Branch Managers, before submission
to a fi nal review process. Thank you to everyone who
has contributed to assessing grant applications since the
commencement of this program. The funding we have
provided has directly helped over 520 local groups in the
important roles they play in our communities.
In addition, we continue to sponsor a variety of events that
are important to our local communities. Major sponsorships
have included the North Queensland Cowboys and the
Brisbane Broncos National Rugby League teams and the
Townsville Crocodiles and the Townsville Fire National
Basketball teams.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS
During the year, Michael Beard and Mike Steindl retired on
a rotational basis as required by our Constitution. Following
an election process, both Directors were reappointed to
the Board.
Being a Director involves signifi cant commitment of time
and carries a high level of responsibility. We are very
fortunate to have such a dedicated group of individuals
who each contribute so effectively to the oversight of the
operations and the direction of the Credit Union.
OUR FUTURE
Early in 2012, Directors and Executive staff took time
to reassess the strategic direction of the business. Our
planning process included input from all staff and we
took time with them to reassess the core principles and
behaviours that underpin how we conduct our business.
The end result of this process was a newly crafted Strategic
Plan, with a clear vision and direction for the years ahead.
Queensland Country remains fi rmly committed to providing
for the fi nancial and health insurance needs of Regional
Queenslanders.
In the year ahead we intend to progress a number of key
projects that will help achieve our strategic goals. This
includes delivery of a mobile banking platform, a new web
site, a modern new contact centre and some improvements
to our transactional accounts. We are also investing in
our core banking systems and we have purchased land in
Townsville with a view to constructing a new purpose built
head offi ce.
OUR STAFF
Queensland Country employs over 270 staff. Periodic
surveys show the high levels of staff engagement that
exists across the business. This year we have increased our
investment in developing our people with the establishment
of an Emerging Leaders program. More recently we have
commenced delivery of a sales training program that will
build the confi dence of our staff in matching our products to
the needs of Members, while still being true to our Mutual,
Member focused culture.
Our staff are passionate about our Members and helping
them to achieve their fi nancial goals and we take this
opportunity to thank each staff member for the dedication
and commitment demonstrated over the last 12 months.

Aileen Cull, Chief Executive Offi cer

Queensland Country Credit Union is an independent, Member owned organisation providing a full range of competitive fi nancial services.
OUR MEMBERS
Our Members are the most important part of our service.
They are always at the centre of what we do. Our primary
business objective is to help Members meet their fi nancial
goals whilst engaging with our communities in a way that
would make our Members proud.
Every decision we make at Queensland Country Credit
Union takes into consideration the benefi t for our Members
and communities as we work to maintain and grow their
respect and trust.
As a mutual organisation, we remain committed to the ideals
upon which we were founded. When you join Queensland
Country Credit Union, you purchase one membership share.
This means you become a part-owner of the Credit Union
and can rely on us for your savings, loans and other fi nancial
product and service needs.
You’re also entitled to vote in the election of our Board
of Directors, who set the operating policies for the Credit
Union and supervise the performance of the organisation.
With over 58,000 Members and 23 branches stretching
from as far north as Weipa, south to Stanthorpe and west
to Mount Isa, Queensland Country prides itself on being
committed to fellow Queenslanders.
OUR STRENGTH & SECURITY
Our strength and fi nancial security are derived from our
diverse asset base of over $1 billion. At any time, around
90% of savings deposited with the Credit Union are lent
back to Members through personal, home and investment
loans, which demonstrates our commitment to ensuring
Members get the best value for money when dealing
with us.
Our spare funds are invested conservatively and are mainly
held in deposits with large regulated Australian Financial
Institutions. The Credit Union does not invest in the stock
market or overseas.
We are regulated by the same Government regulator as the
major banks - the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority
(APRA). APRA’s duty is to minimise the chance that a
Financial Institution will be unable to meet its obligations
to depositors. Credit Unions, Banks and Building Societies
must all comply with the same set of APRA rules (known as
Prudential Standards).
Queensland Country complies with all Prudential Standards
and is in a strong and stable fi nancial position.
S P O N S O R S H I P S
Queensland Country Credit Union is committed to making a positive contribution in our local communities.
One of the most valuable ways we achieve this is by providing fi nancial assistance to community organisations.
We continue to support our communities through sponsorships and our Community Grants Scheme.
SPONSORSHIPS
Queensland Country provides
sponsorship for a wide range of
activities and groups that offer
tangible benefi ts to the community
and encourage active participation in
local events.
We understand the important role
grass-roots organisations and
events play in the development of a
community, and we’re committed to
seeking out ways to become actively
involved in these activities wherever
possible.
Queensland Country sponsors events
and community groups through
fi nancial or other assistance, such
as fi nancial or banking services. This
assistance helps raise the profi le and
awareness of an event or group and
contributes to its success in delivering
positive outcomes to the community.
As a Queensland based organisation,
we focus on providing sponsorship
within our branch areas.
MAJOR CORPORATE SPONSORSHIPS
In addition to supporting the local
community through sponsorships, we
are also major sponsors of some of
Queensland’s most iconic sporting
teams:
• The Brisbane Broncos
(Offi cial Banking Partner)
• The North Queensland Cowboys
(Offi cial Banking Partner)
• The Townsville Crocodiles
Throughout the year, Queensland
Country organises and participates
at community functions with these
teams to collectively demonstrate
our combined support for the local
community.

Queensland Country provides funding for not-for-profi t groups across Queensland as part of our Community Grants Scheme.
This Scheme allocates funding to groups in our branch areas for a wide range of activities, facilities and services.
Each initiative is awarded support based on the capacity of the group or project to deliver tangible, long-term improvements in the lives of their communities.
The Scheme gives Queensland Country
a proactive way to support community
groups and develop other communities
in line with our aim to positively
contribute to our local communities and
the lives of our Members.
We understand community groups
play an important role in shaping the
social fabric of a community. It is often
diffi cult for these small organisations
to self-fund valuable activities and
services and we are committed to
making a difference.
Queensland Country aims to offset
costs or fully fund projects that are
deemed to be widely benefi cial to the
community every year. We are proud to
assist local groups in developing and
expanding their activities and reach
within their communities.
Our Community Grants are provided for programs in the areas of:
• Arts, culture and heritage
• Sport and recreation
(where the activity benefi ts the
whole community)
• Health
• Education
• The environment
