Westpac apologises

18 June 2021

Westpac apologises that a small number of cheques from the Victorian Government (about 150) were dishonoured. This was Westpac’s mistake and it is being rectified.

Impacted people will receive a newly issued cheque. Westpac will also provide an additional payment of $250 to compensate them for our mistake and cover the costs of this error. We apologise to those people who have been impacted by this mistake.
