Graduate Opportunities

Westpac was not just Australia’s first bank, we were Australia’s first company, founded in 1817 as ‘the people’s bank’, for the people of a new nation. For almost 200 years, we’ve been at the heart of the Australian and New Zealand communities. Today our operations span the full spectrum of financial services, from high street banking to some of the biggest institutional deals in the world.

Our culture and values
Our core values are Being Part of One Team, Delighting Customers, Recognising Achievement, Acting with Integrity, and Valuing each other. Our philosophy is to build a better life for all Australians. People are at the heart of everything we do and we are guided by a simple principle: ‘doing the right thing.’

Westpac has long set the standard for corporate social responsibility. We were one of the first banks to sign ‘The Equator Principles’, agreeing not to fund projects that endanger communities or the environment.

Conditions and Benefits
With our mentoring, training and development we offer a great work environment for all employees and we believe in a healthy work-life balance. We offer competitive salaries to graduates and allow them Community Work days so you can give something back.

What we offer graduates
We have a support network so you can keep in touch with us and other graduates before you even start. There’s also buddy and mentoring schemes and from day one you are considered and treated like a fully-fledged employee. You’ll have your say and it will have impact.

We have a rotation system so that if you’re unsure of where you fit you can see what suits you. This will help you develop a network of contact and friends as well as understand cross-functional disciplines. We provide a range of generalist and specialist programs to accommodate your interests.
