Find out what it's really like to work in Westpac's Administration team

Carmen Barr Executive Assistant, Finance Business Services Administration "In the 21 years that I have been with Westpac I have been able to stretch myself and progress without having to leave the company. The opportunities to learn and develop were always there and I was encouraged to take advantage of them and try new things. To me, that's the difference between a job and a career, this chance to grow and progress. Westpac has a lot of history which runs parallel to the history of Australia. It does so much for the community, from matching staff charitable contributions dollar for dollar, to allowing one day off a year for volunteer work. It is a positive thing for Westpac that it gives so much to charity and I am proud to work for such a company."

"There's tremendous diversity in this job, and the opportunities extend far beyond my job description. I'm encouraged to take initiative outside of the scope of the position and I'm developing a great range of new and valuable skills. Every day presents a new challenge though and I have to be very flexible about requirements on both my time and tasks. Priorities can change from one moment to the next. You need to be responsible and accountable, and you stay until the job is done."
