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.
