At Westpac Group our aim is to help Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians succeed by valuing culture, helping Indigenous employees build meaningful careers, providing better banking experiences for our Indigenous customers, and backing Indigenous businesses.

Westpac has been granted an S126 Exemption to sections eight (8) and fifty-one (51) of the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977 (NSW); this allows us to advertise and recruit this role exclusively to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander applicants.
