Established in 1835, the bank provides everyday banking, lending, payments, wealth, commercial, and institutional financial services. ANZ operates across Australia, New Zealand, and selected international markets, supporting millions of customers through branches, digital channels, contact centres, and specialist teams. The organisation is focused on making banking simpler, strengthening customer outcomes, managing risk responsibly, and investing in technology and transformation.

Working in Australia

Australia offers opportunities in banking, technology, project management, healthcare, engineering, education, construction, mining, and professional services, particularly in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide. Workplace culture is generally practical, collaborative, and relatively informal, with emphasis on clear communication, accountability, work-life balance, and workplace safety. Lifestyle varies from busy metropolitan living to relaxed coastal and regional communities, with strong outdoor, sporting, and multicultural traditions. Visa options may include employer-sponsored skilled visas, independent or state-nominated skilled visas, and temporary graduate pathways; eligibility depends on occupation, qualifications, experience, English ability, and current immigration rules. Relocating usually requires securing a visa, arranging accommodation, budgeting for higher housing costs in major cities, obtaining tax and banking arrangements, and understanding healthcare and employment rights. Australia is geographically large, so location strongly affects transport, climate, and living expenses.
