What our graduates have to say
i was drawn to the Group Treasury Graduate Program for its strategic focus on liquidity, capital, and balance sheet management, as well as the opportunity to understand how a major financial institution manages these key risks. These were areas I developed a strong interest in while completing a Bachelor of Commerce and Economics at UNSW.
Sean, 2025 Group Treasury Graduate
I applied for the Westpac Group Treasury Graduate Program because I was excited by the opportunity to rotate across multiple teams within such a foundational part of the bank. I completed a Bachelor of Economics majoring in Econometrics and International Business at the University of Sydney. This program has provided an opportunity to explore my interest in macroeconomics in a meaningful way.
Through my rotations across Treasury, I have built a strong network and developed a deep understanding of how each team works together to support the broader business, and ultimately our customers. This program has challenged me and significantly expanded my banking knowledge. My experience at Westpac Group has been incredibly rewarding. I have received consistent support and guidance throughout the year, making this program the perfect start to my career.
