First Nations careers at NAB

First Nations careers

As one of Australia’s largest employers we’re committed to boosting sustainable employment opportunities and successful career outcomes for First Peoples. We offer traineeships, internships, graduate programs and experienced hire opportunities.

Cultural diversity and perspectives

Our First Nations talent contributes to our diverse workforce, bringing unique cultural perspectives that enhance our creativity and innovation.

Community engagement and trust

NAB's support for First Nations talent fosters stronger connections with local communities, building trust and goodwill. 

Culturally safe work environment

Our commitment to First Nations talent serves as a cornerstone for a culturally safe workplace, where colleagues from different backgrounds feel valued and supported, ultimately contributing to a positive and collaborative corporate culture.

We’ve been committed to Elevate Reconciliation Action Plans (RAP) since 2013. We continue to invest to improve workforce participation, economic success and creating career pathways to build meaningful careers and leadership representation.

Improving cultural awareness across our business

We provide a range of opportunities for our people to lift their understanding and actively get involved through our cultural awareness initiatives. This includes cross-cultural training, specialist experiences for our senior executives, employee community secondments and skilled volunteering.

In 2023, NAB’s First Nations Employee Resource Group (ERG) was launched. Having a shared understanding forms a strong basis, which is central to true reconciliation and progress. The ERG seeks to create a culturally safe environment within NAB where First Nations colleagues have a clear sense of community.
