The Summer Intern program and GMSA programs run for around 10 weeks, typically from November to 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 and within your chosen business area.

Our Graduate Program generally takes around 300+ Graduates each year and our Summer Intern Program takes around 100+ Interns each year.

While most of our business areas offer programs in Sydney, we offer several programs across Australia, including all major cities and selected regional areas. The location for each role is shown as advertised. As part of your application, you can indicate whether you’re open to relocating, and your application will capture your current location details.

Our programs are currently only available in Australia.

The Global Markets Summer Analyst Program is separate from 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 after the program.

Application & recruitment process

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. Please note, this does not include bridging visas while awaiting permanent residency or 820 visa holders.

All successful candidates must have completed their studies and be available to commence full time work around February (note: program start dates vary year-to-year). Unfortunately we're unable to accommodate late starts and would suggest you apply for the following year's Graduate Program.

You’ll also have the option to indicate whether you’re open to opportunities in other business areas. To help you decide, we recommend exploring our different business areas before applying. If, after reviewing your application, we think you may be a strong fit for another area, we may reach out to have a conversation.

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 ([email protected]) so you don't miss out on important correspondence throughout the recruitment process.

If the business area 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 approximately one year in advance. Should any further opportunities become available, these will be advertised on our website. We encourage you to keep an eye on this page regularly for any updates.

You may see us advertise opportunities as ‘expression of interest only’. This means that we do not have a current role open, 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. 

Assessment Centres

It pays to be prepared! Do your homework before the Assessment Centre and find out everything you can about the Program, your business area and us. 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 business area you've applied to, so we recommend you’re prepared to discuss your interest and understanding in this area.

Where you’re required to travel to meet with us for an Assessment Centre, we’ll be in touch to discuss next steps and any support available.

If you are successful at Digital Interview stage and invited to our Assessment Centres, you will be advised during that process whether you can expect to be taking part in a face-to-face or virtual Assessment Centre.
