- Applied Online
- Online testing (Numerical, Verbal, Logical)
- Video Interview
- Assessment Centre (2 1on1 Interviews, Group Case Study)

1. Online Application with questions on why the division and why the bank and highlighting achievements
2. Online Test - SHL
3. Telephone interview: Asked all behavioural questions and why Westpac, example of good customer service and teamwork
4. Assessment Centre: 3on1 interview. 50/50 mix of behavioural and technical. Technical was about macro market conditions (e.g. why has the australian dollar been so high?)
Group presentation involved a case study where we were given a hypothetical company with several investment options, had to decide on which one is the best order of investment options and why
1on1 Presentation. Had to simulate a meeting with a manager (give a debrief on a case study that we were given 20minutes to read)

1. Online Application:
Typical basic details of why you are applying and why you wish to work at that firm. The psychometric test you do is ridiculously hard, harder than any of the tests I did for IBs or other Australian retail banks by far. Honestly, there's not much you can do at this point in time, you should have acquired work experience prior to applying (looked upon very favorably). The test is hit and miss.
2. Phone interview
A basic phone interview repeating some of the questions. Got asked 'what caused the GFC?' by the HR rep. She didn't have a clue if I was right, just so long as I sounded correct. You pretty much go to the assessment day if you could speak intelligently.
3. Assessment centre
a. Verification test
This only consisted of the math and verbal sections of the online test. Be wary of time.
b. 2 x 30min interview (panel of 2 each)
From what I gather there's some basic questions about your motives and experience but beyond that, rest was just a chat to see if you fit in/got along with the interviewers. Again very dependant on who you draw as an interviewer. Technical questions were basic in the extreme "what is FX?" "how do you value a bond?" etc.
c. Team exercise
You get a case study and as a group, need to decide which of the charity events to sponsor for 'maximum return'. I am hazy on the details but you must realise that all the events have positives and negatives, create a criteria as to what the group would like to achieve in order to benchmark the choices against and voila, done. I did this for all my group tasks (acted the leader) and always got positive feedback.

That's all, successful candidates heard back within 3 days.

Applications are done online.
These include of selection questions, transcripts, and resume uploads.

An automated confirmation is then sent.

There is an internal review review each online application against the selection criteria and the requirements of each business area. We let you know the outcome by phone or email.

The next stage is aptitude testing.

If this is successful, there is then a phone interview.

You will then be asked to attend an assessment centre session.

The assesment centre includes a role play with skills testing, behavioural questions, and a group activity (we had a debate).

From there, there is reference and police checks.

If you are successful for the Westpac Group Graduate Program, they then give you a verbal offer, followed by a formal written offer, employment contract and further information welcoming you to the Westpac Group.
