Your New Role

If you value people like we do, you could be the person we’re looking for: proactive, passionate, driven to succeed, confident in building relationships and communicating with our diverse customers and employees.

People. They are the heart of Westpac Group. And our Human Resources Business Partners and Advisors and Specialists work strategically across all business areas to design and deliver a first-class people and culture strategy. 

Our specialists span disciplines such as HR Analytics, Culture & Leadership, Talent Acquisition, Learning & Development, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, Performance & Reward, Employee Relations and Health, Safety & Wellbeing.  With unique specialist teams covering such a wide range of expertise, you’ll be spoilt for choice. 

What will the Human Resources Graduate Program offer you?

As a Grad within Human Resources, you’ll have the opportunity to rotate through different teams to build your experience and grow your network. A Grad will complete three rotations across the HR business that align with their interests and skill set, while giving them a truly diverse experience across the multitude of roles that are available in Human Resources. 

In the past, our Grads’ exposure has ranged from supporting employees with HR policy advice to helping launch an employee self-service portal; contributing to the research, strategy, and initiatives behind our vision to developing websites, social media strategies and brand campaigns to attract new employees and build engagement with existing employees; and shadowing senior leaders, which provided the opportunity to participate in associated workshops, training and summits. Participating in extra-curricular groups such as The Youth Network and community initiatives, including graduate committees, is also all part of the Grad experience.

Some examples of roles former graduates are now performing in our business are:

• Employee Relations Manager
• HR Business Partner
• HR Project Lead

We consider graduates from, but not limited to: Business Management, Human Resources, Arts & Humanities, Psychology and Law.

You will also need:

• To be in in your final year of study of a university degree, or
• You can have completed an undergraduate or postgraduate degree, but it must be no more than three years ago.
• You also need to be an Australian or New Zealand Citizen or an Australian Permanent Resident when you apply.
