About us


On our journey to be Australia's bank of choice, we continue to set the example of how banking should be: progressive, innovative, sustainable, shared, and most importantly, trusted.

Our Corporate Secretariat is a critical support function of the Bendigo and Adelaide Bank group.

Our highly capable team of passionate professionals provide top tier executive corporate administrative support and governance advice to the Bank's board and board committees, as well as its subsidiaries, and joint ventures.

Our tight knit but geographically dispersed team strive for excellence, support each other, and learn together in a fun and fast-paced environment.

transparent with stakeholders in managing risks
consistent in complying with legal and regulatory obligations (ASX, ASIC, and APRA)
a key member of our team, leading by example
persistent in sharing your ideas, and encouraging of others to do the same
organised and thorough in managing corporate transactions / events
an advocate for effective and efficient procedures
critically astute in preparing and lodging ASX announcements
proactive in resolving queries from our stakeholders
agile and outcome focused in a fast-paced environment
confident in filling in for the Company Secretary when needed

About you

To be successful in the role, you'll have:
a tertiary qualification preferably in law, business law, or corporate administration
membership of the Governance Institute of Australia (ideally with a GIA Graduate Diploma) or the Australian Institute of Company Directors
relevant experience as a company secretary within the banking/finance industry with an ASX-listed company
experience in managing AGMs, capital raisings, and M&As
a background in assisting with audit, risk or remuneration teams
solid working knowledge of financial services legislation (eg. Banking, wealth management, superannuation, financial planning), APRA Prudential standards, and ASX Listing Rules (preferably)
completed the online ASX listing officer course
outstanding verbal and written communication skills
expertise using Microsoft 365, SharePoint, DocuSign, Diligent and GEMS
