Reconciliation at Westpac

Westpac’s vision for reconciliation is an Australia where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have equitable economic participation and financial wellbeing. We seek to achieve this by being relentlessly focused on creating real impact for Indigenous customers, employees and communities.

You can read more about Westpac’s Reconciliation Action Plan here.

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. 

Westpac acknowledges the Traditional Owners as the custodians of this land, recognising their connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respects to Australia's First Peoples, and to their Elders, past, present and future.
