Why choose Bendigo Bank for your Graduate Program 2026 experience?
While our aspiration is to be Australia's most innovative bank, our story goes back more than 160 years - our rich history of supporting the prosperity of regional Australia is part of our foundation.

Each experience is designed to allow you to learn and develop to become the best version of you.
We provide a Graduate Program to give you exposure to all aspects of sales and operations, whilst ensuring you enjoy a rounded experience across a range of different communities that we serve. This year we're excited to announce the expansion of our program, now offering two streams for graduates to select from - Agribusiness or Business Banking.
Our Business Banking Graduate Program 2026 proposition
Successful graduates will participate in rotations between all key divisions that support our clients' finance requests. That means you will be working closely with our dedicated team of Relationship Managers and Lending Analysts and more.

The sky's the limit: we will actively help you reach your potential through career pathways, skill development and providing you with unique project opportunities. You will form part of an established and constantly evolving program with a supportive graduate community. This program is a key part in our commitment to developing the next generation of leaders.
Graduates can also look forward to:
* An established and constantly evolving program with a supportive graduate community.
* A permanent role post-program within the Business or Agribusiness division.
* Supportive rotation leaders who genuinely care about your development.
* Real work. To land a position within our business, you will undergo an exceptionally rigorous selection process. We do this to ensure you will succeed and will reach your potential.

* Health and wellbeing support, including discounted gym memberships, and private health insurance options.
* Discounts on our products and services including home loans, credit cards, insurances as well as access to 600 reward partners nationwide.

What are we looking for?
We are looking for talented and motivated graduates who have completed their degree within the last three years and share our ambition to support and enable customers to build vibrant businesses across Australia.
