The Graduate Program starts in mid-February. The length of each program varies depending on which business area you're interested in, but the majority of our programs run for 18 months. As a graduate, you'll join the program as a permanent employee.

The summer intern program and GMSA program runs for 10 weeks from late November to early February. This includes a break over the Christmas and New Year period.

We look for well-rounded candidates who have successfully balanced university, work experience and extra-curricular activities. Other skills essential to working successfully with us include being able to work in a team and the desire to learn and drive your own career. Most importantly, we look for your motivation to work with us.

Our Graduate Program generally takes around 300+ Graduates each year and our Summer Intern Program takes around 150+ Interns each year.

The majority of our roles are based in Sydney. We do have a number of roles available in other cities and regional areas. Specific locations of our roles will be available at time of application, and you’ll be asked about your location preference, and locations you'd be open to relocating to.

Our Programs are only available in Australia.

Global Markets graduate roles do not form part of our group-wide Graduate Program. Global Markets Summer Analysts who successfully complete the program may receive an offer for a specific team within Global Markets.

Unfortunately temporary visa holders are not eligible. Applicants must have Australian or New Zealand Citizenship or Australian permanent residency at the time the application is submitted.

All successful candidates must have completed their studies and be available to commence full time work in mid-February. Unfortunately we're unable to accommodate late applicants and would suggest you apply for the following year's Graduate Program. 

You’re only able to select one Career Pathway preference on your online application. To help you make this decision, we recommend you read about our different pathways in detail before applying. If we read your application and think you’re a perfect fit for another area, we’ll give you a call to have a chat.

Please check the Campus events section to find out when we’ll be visiting your university and running events – either face-to-face or virtually.

We'll keep in touch after each stage of the recruitment process to advise if your application is progressing.

If you don’t receive a confirmation email of your application within 24 – 48 hours of your application being submitted, check your junk folders and set us up as a known email address (cba@myworkday.com) so you don't miss out on important correspondence throughout the recruitment process.

If the Career Pathway you’re interested in is not appearing on the application page, it means the role has been filled by successful Graduates or Summer Interns and is now closed.

We generally complete all hiring a year in advance. Should any further opportunities become available, these will be advertised on our website. We’d encourage you to join our Talent Community in the meantime so we can keep you up-to-date with all things happening at CommBank, including any vacant roles. 

You may see us advertise opportunities as ‘expression of interest only’. This means that we do not have a current role, however if we have one become available we'll consider applicants who applied to the expression of interest. If and when a role becomes available, we’ll be in touch to re-confirm your interest and availability and discuss next steps. 

No. All applications must be submitted online.

All applicants need to apply online. Internal candidates who are already working for CommBank should apply through the Career Hub on Sidekick. External candidates should apply through our application portal. When applications are open, the portal can be accessed via this page. All applicants will go through the same recruitment process.

It pays to be prepared! Do your homework before the Assessment Centre and find out everything you can about the Program and us. Also, it’s worth reflecting on how your skills and experience match what we’re looking for. You’ll have the opportunity to meet and network with CommBank leaders within the Career Pathway you've applied to, so we recommend you’re prepared to discuss your interest and understanding in this area.
