Deb, Kerry & Liz have a combined 48 years of experience with us here at The Capricornian and have supported numerous customers and their families during that time. ... The ladies all agreed that their favourite part of the job is relationship building with our members. I have worked at The Capricornian for the past 18 months. During this time I’ve got to know so many of our members on a much more personal level and I’ve made some amazing lifelong friendships along the way. I can’t pick just one thing I like about my job because I love it all but being able to interact with and assist such beautiful members is definitely top of the list, Liz, Member Relationship Officer said. There have been numerous memorable moments that have taken place at the branch, as there have been so many over the years. I have been part of The Capricornian team since February 2000. My contribution to fundraising and assisting on different projects has been a memorable and rewarding part of living in this wonderful community, Deb, Branch Manager said. The Credit Union opened in January 1994, allowing the Miriam Vale Shire Council and residents’ access to financial services previously withdrawn by banks. Miriam Vale Council made history by becoming the branch’s first customer - it was the first time in Australia that a local authority had been allowed to do business outside the trading bank system. Today, our Miriam Vale Branch is located at 1/27 Blomfield Street.

06.01.2022 Branch Profiles | Gladstone We’d like to introduce you to the team at our Gladstone Branch! Mark, Chloe, Karen and Andrea have a combined 30 years of experience with us here at The Capricornian and have supported numerous customers and their families during that time. ... The team all agreed that their favourite part of the job is relationship building with our members and helping them to achieve their financial goals. Mark recalls helping a single father and his 4 children purchase their first home. This member came to me 8 months before hand he asked what he would need to do to purchase a home. We sat down and discussed what he would require and then set him up with a savings plan. He found the perfect home with a pool where the repayments were less than the rent he was paying and is now enjoying home ownership with his family, he said. There have been numerous memorable moments that have taken place at the branch, as there have been so many over the years. One of my most memorable moments was when I helped one our members, stranded on the road a long way from any branches. They lost their card and had no access to their funds. We were able to find a solution for this member to access their funds and get the member back home, Andrea, Member Relationship Officer said. The Capricornian opened an agency in Gladstone in 1995, with an official branch opening in 1997. You can find our friendly Gladstone team at 174 Goondoon Street, Gladstone.
