Work life balance

We’re all about achieving the best outcomes for our customers, our teams and you.

Perks
You’ll be rewarded for your contribution here. From benefits like your own personal banking discounts, to gym memberships, restaurants, travel and movie vouchers – we’ve got you covered!

What can you expect as a Graduate, Intern or Analyst? 

As a graduate, you’ll start with us in February as a permanent employee, but the length of your program can vary based on which career pathway you choose. Throughout your first year we provide loads of support to help you to maximise your experience and you’ll enjoy a range of rotations to expose you to new and exciting career possibilities. 

You’ll attend orientation in your nearest corporate office where you'll hear from senior leaders and renowned speakers, immerse yourself in all things CommBank and network with fellow graduates. We’ll help you identify focus areas and provide tailored development sessions – on demand or in person. You’ll then come together again for an intensive mid-year development event to enhance your capabilities even further. At the end of your program, you’ll be supported to find a role that best suits your capabilities and interests.​

Our 10-week Summer Intern and Global Markets Summer Analyst (GMSA) Program gives you a taste of what it’s like to work with us. You’ll be given full support and training to help you decide if CommBank is the right fit for you. 

At the end of the Summer Intern Program, you’ll have the opportunity to apply early for our Graduate Program for the following year. 

At the end of the GMSA Program however, you could receive an offer for a full-time position in one of our Global Markets teams, once you’ve completed your studies. Please note, the GMSA Program doesn’t provide early entry opportunities to our Graduate Program.
