The Compliance Manager – Internal will assist the Head of Compliance and Chief Risk Officer (CRO) to develop, manage and maintain Bank Australia's Compliance Framework. This role will provide leadership to the business and provide support and assistance in the ongoing management of the Bank's compliance systems and frameworks. The role will also provide advice, assistance and education to the business to champion and promote regulatory and prudential compliance as well as adherence to internal policy where non- adherence gives rise to risks outside the Bank's appetite.

  • We also support staff with study assistance, paid parental leave (regardless of gender), volunteer, bereavement, gender affirmation and family violence leave; and the opportunity for bonus annual leave.
  • We support our staff to grow their careers through learning and development and an organisational culture where we reward and recognise innovation and values, not long hours.
  • We are committed to building an inclusive culture and a diverse workforce that reflects the Australian community.
  • We care for a conservation reserve – where we work with key partner organisations to protect threatened species and involve staff in conservation.
