What is the Career Comeback Program?

The Career Comeback Program is a dedicated initiative designed to support professionals returning to the workforce after a career break of two years or more.

  • Banking, Finance, and Accounting
  • Project Management and Operations
  • Risk and Compliance
  • Customer Service
     

Most opportunities are based in Sydney, with additional roles available interstate form time to time depending on business needs. Candidates join the Bank in permanent roles and receive 12 weeks of dedicated support, including comprehensive onboarding, career coaching, mentoring, and flexible working arrangements to set you up for long-term success.
