Our Organisation
As Australia’s first bank and oldest company, the Westpac Group—which started life as the Bank of New South Wales in 1817—represents a central, unbroken thread that runs through Australian history. It has survived and thrived because it has been guided by the same purpose over the years: to provide stability, support customers and communities, and to help grow the economy.
This program forms part of one of our six major divisions - Group Businesses, comprising our head office and Australian support functions.
When you join Westpac Group, you’ll be empowered to make a difference, speak your truth and discover what success means to you. But best of all you’ll be joining a whole organisation of people who love helping others find their success.

Our Group Treasury Program
Group Treasury is responsible for capital, funding and balance sheet management across Westpac. In this program you will be exposed to the “bank of the bank”, learning the key aspects of how we strategically shape the balance sheet while managing liquidity risk, capital, data and operational risk… always with a focus on creating and protecting value for both our customers and the Group long into the future.
This is a 12-month program with 4 x 3-month rotations. Focusing on the core functions of Group Treasury, your rotations will be designed to provide on-the-job training, along with specific technical and soft skill coaching from leading specialists, to support your future career in banking.
Please note: whilst this stream provides exposure to aspects of market risk management, it is not a trading program. Trading experience can be obtained via an application to the Financial Markets & Treasury stream.

Pros and cons of working at Westpac Group
Pros
The quality of the work and the people you work with.
Huge amount of opportunity to learn and grow.
Flexibility, atmosphere.
Rotating around between teams ensures I am learning lots and meeting heaps of people.
Great extracurricular opportunities to be involved in - from employee action groups to Toastmasters clubs.
Cons
Sometimes it is difficult to contact/work with departments outside of your area.
Because it's so big, it's very slow to move with change and onboarding to systems.
Having set days to come into the office. Hard to find a job after graduate program finishes.
Too many systems.
We are big, old and clunky. This means things can take ages to actually get done, and there can be heaps of red tape.
