ANZ’s award-winning graduate programs are specifically designed to fast-track the career you have been working so hard towards. You’ll be in the express lane from day one as every graduate is hand-picked and hired to fill a genuine business need. Then when you cross the finishing line, a job will be waiting for you in an area of your choice - along with a healthy “end-of-program” pay rise.

Things move fast at ANZ as we’re doing the important work that only one of Australia’s biggest banks with a global network can tackle. But don’t worry, we’re a nice bunch of people so you won’t be expected to have all the answers up front.

Instead, six monthly rotations will open your eyes to what’s possible at ANZ and what’s the best path for you to take. And the 18 or 24 months you spend on the program will be jam packed with learning and networking opportunities to set you up with the contacts, confidence, and expertise to turbo charge your career.

So don’t delay, because our plans are big - and we want you right up front with us

We have programs in a range of our divisions including our Communications Division.

About the Communications Graduate Program

Communications and Public Affairs (CPA) at ANZ is a partnership between communications, community and industry affairs that focuses on driving a culture of trust, integrity and character in an integrated way throughout ANZ and drives differentiation with respect to reputation, brand and community impact. CPA manages key external issues and relationships particularly those involving civil society, government, regulators, NGOs and others who play an important role in influencing our world.

As a Communications and Public Affairs graduate you will part of an exciting team where you will get exposure to a broad range of topics across the bank. You will be part ANZ’s government, communications, community and sustainability teams, which aim to build relationships with stakeholders and the community, listening and responding to what matters to them.
