Our graduate program

Our graduate program is a challenging and rewarding way to kick-start your career with us. That must be why our amazing graduates have voted us as one of the Top Graduate Employers in Australia for 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020.

For us, everything starts and ends with the customer - and that’s a good thing.

With our agile way of working, you’ll never stop learning because we constantly grow and change. We design for the future – without forgetting what’s important in the present for our people and customers.

With us, you’ll be supported by colleagues and leaders who value thoughts and ideas. And because our culture is all about our people, you’ll benefit from a diverse team who bring different perspectives and ideas to everything we do. That’s because we know we’re best when we harness our varied strengths.

Bankwest is blazing a new trail with our collaborative, enthusiastic and driven workforce.

Our structured graduate programs start in February and run for two years. We currently have a specialist stream available within Technology and Transformation.

From day one you’ll be doing real work that impacts the business and be receiving both technical and soft-skills training. You’ll have the support of a buddy and be able to make a social contribution by participating in development and volunteering initiatives.

When you complete the program, we'll work with you to understand your career goals and determine your strengths to position you in a role that best suits you and the business.

We have roles available in the open-plan Bankwest head office located in the centre of Perth.

We try to make the process as simple and easy as possible. It starts with an online application and progresses to online assessments, digital interviews and face to face meetings with members of our team.
