While summer is a great time for lazing on the beach, it’s also the perfect time to give your career a head start with our Summer Intern Program.

Our 10-week Program gives you a taste of what it’s like to work with us. You’ll be given full support and training to help you decide if CommBank is the right fit for you.

At the end of the Program you’ll also have the opportunity to apply early for our Graduate Program for the following year.

You’ll enjoy an intensive introduction to life at CommBank, learn how we operate, get involved in great projects and meet inspirational people who’ll help you put your career on the right path.

During the placement you’ll be partnered alongside passionate and energetic leaders and teams, allowing you to work on challenging real life projects. You’ll contribute to outcomes which positively impact our business and our customers. During the placement we’ll encourage you to build your professional network with your peers and with leaders from across CommBank. 

Responsibilities for each placement vary based on the team and role you’ll be working with. At the commencement of our placement, your leaders will work with you to determine a project, set of tasks, or targets to achieve during your placement. They’ll consider both your current skills and development goals, as well as look for opportunities to stretch them to enhance your experience. 

You’ll have an opportunity to build capability on our award winning development program, which will guide you throughout your placement. This program is designed to support you to identify your strengths, and showcase these at the conclusion of the placement. Your internship is based around the concept of experience, exposure and education – combining a series of formal learning events with workplace-based experiential learning and exposure to new and different ideas, thinking and practices.

Applications typically open in July, and the Program starts in late November.

We have roles available nationally (both metro and regional), although the majority of our roles are based in Sydney.
