See yourself in our team

The Regulatory Advocacy and Change team sits within Group Regulatory Engagement and forms part of the Group Regulatory Change function.

We monitor and shape regulatory reforms affecting the Group and financial services sector, engaging government, regulators and industry bodies to support customers and the Australian community.

We develop Group positions, lead advocacy and help the business prepare for emerging regulatory developments.

We work across the Group and with industry bodies, including the Australian Banking Association.
