So I come from a small country town of about 500 people out in Central New South Wales.

I moved from Sydney to Brisbane, but ANZ was really supportive in being able to assist me with that. And I was able to keep my connections with my people who I had in my corner from the very first day of starting my traineeship.

So there was nothing that I was necessarily expecting out of the traineeship, but I was met with nothing but love, support and care, and was able to complete a Certificate three in Financial Services.

And then our District Manager took a chance on me and here we are.

I've been able to stay very well connected with my First Nations colleagues right across the Bank through many measures such as Ngarga Wangaddja, which is our employee reference group, our Reconciliation Network of which I am the co-chair, and many other programs and areas in which we're able to support and provide advice, particularly for the First Nations Strategy.

My advice to anybody joining the Bank would be about taking on those opportunities, whatever it is that fills your cup or gets you up in the morning, whatever your passion is.

In my experience, ANZ's always been supportive of my journey and they will walk with you on yours.

My name's Dempsey Bloom. I'm a Gomeroi man from Central New South Wales, and I'm a Team Leader at ANZ's Know Your Customer department.

Actively growing First Nations careers at ANZ

Hi, I'm Em and I'm a proud Bardi woman from Broome, Western Australia.

And I'm Dave, I'm a proud Bunurong man from the South-East of Victoria. And we're here today on Gadigal Country in Sydney and want to tell you some of the ways ANZ celebrates First Nations culture.

Dave and I are part of the Indigenous Small Business Banking team and we support First Nation customers with their businesses.

We love that our role connects us to mob and ANZ helps us connect personally.

Absolutely, within ANZ we connect with community in so many different ways. There's ANZ's Reconciliation Network where First Nation and non-Indigenous employees come together including for Reconciliation Week and NAIDOC Week events Australia-wide.

There's Ngarga Wangaddja, ANZ's First Nation employees reference group. And we also have Bulurru Yugi, a network for First Nation employees to gather and to connect.

There's a variety of leave options that support things like cultural practices, community events and sorry business. And the option to work on January 26 and take a different day off.

As for your career, the First Nations Talent and Culture team can guide you on your journey, helping you grow with an organisation that is committed to First Nations people and communities.

Did you know ANZ was the first Australian bank to have a RAP? And we recently appointed a Head of First Nation Strategy.

Thanks for watching, we're glad you're considering a career at ANZ, and we hope to see you around.

This could be the start of something big

Technology secondment opportunities

First Nations employees in our retail division can access regular secondment opportunities in our technology division to see if moving there is the right career move for them.

 

Joel, Digital Journey Expert, Naarm (Melbourne)

The tech secondment I've just started gives me the opportunity to use the skills and knowledge I've built up over the past few years working at ANZ. This is a huge step forward for me towards my ultimate career goal of empowering older and the vulnerable in our communities to feel more confident using ANZ’s digital banking products.

 

Together, we can achieve remarkable things

Be surprised by what you'll find

You don't need banking experience to work with us as we need people from all different backgrounds to think big and make an impact in real time.

Collaborate with really great people

You don't have to know everything and have all the answers, we're all one big team looking at how we can solve some pretty tricky problems.

Make a difference everyday

Our purpose is to shape a world where people and communities thrive. It’s a big ambition, and we’re all working to bring it to life.

RAP

Our commitment to First Nations employees has been a key focus of our Reconciliation Action Plan since it was established in 2007 (the first bank in Australia to have one).

Cultural connections

We're working to improve First Nations cultural capability within ANZ. We have employee networks, cultural awareness training, a First Nations advisory committee and a First Nations-only employee community.

Diversity and Inclusion

At ANZ we pride ourselves on being a great place to belong, as this is a fundamental human need. We strive to create an inclusive environment for everyone – our employees, customers and the community.

First Nations Strategy

Our 10-year First Nations Strategy is designed to advance First Nations aspirations for economic self-determination and focuses on the common ground between those aspirations and ANZ’s purpose.

Community support

We have dedicated Indigenous Bankers who work with First Nations business owners, and a First Nations Customer Support Line that seeks to support customers, including those living in remote communities, who may face challenges accessing their banking.

Our artwork

This design, by creative director Marcus Lee, visualises five outer shapes which represent thriving people and communities, reflecting ANZ’s five values of – Integrity, Collaboration, Accountability, Respect and Excellence.

The five rotating people shapes connect around the three inner concentric rings which represent a central community meeting place. Additionally, the three central rings reflect our focus areas of Housing, Environmental Sustainability, and Financial Wellbeing.

The coloured lines and dotted pathways extend from the people through to community where positive relationships between ANZ and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, communities and organisations can be forged to help shape a world where people and communities thrive.

 

Hear from some of our people

Dion, Commercial Home Loan Capability Manager, Tarndanya (Adelaide)

Throughout my 10-year career at ANZ, I’ve found immense fulfilment in mentoring both customers and colleagues, witnessing their growth and successes. With eight different roles and counting, I thrive on fostering new skills, investing in people, and participating in leadership programs, which demonstrates ANZ's commitment to people.

 

Tenielle, Inclusion Program Manager, Naarm (Melbourne)

As a Mununjali woman at ANZ, I’m able to bring my full self to work. This is through being part of networks like the Reconciliation Network and Ngarga Wangaddja which means I’m always connected to mob at work. And my role gives me the ability to create opportunities for First Nations trainees and drive positive change.
