Explore Westpac’s graduate assessments, video interview and final stages, with Australian and New Zealand differences made clear.
By the Game Assessment Prep research teamUpdated September 14, 2026How we research
Psychometric testing is officially confirmed for Australian graduate selection. A historical Westpac PDF describes games, but current evidence is insufficient to attach a named simulator set to the employer.
Our Westpac question set supports preparation for the video interview stages described in this guide. Each question is labeled by its evidence: officially published, candidate-reported, or a practice question written for this company or role. Use the timed mock to practice answering aloud.
Westpac applicants should first identify their country, stream and career level. The graduate guidance is more specific than the general recruitment page, and the Australian and New Zealand programs do not use interchangeable instructions.
The practical priority is to prepare before submitting if the process may quickly lead to an assessment. Save your application, confirm that the chosen location works for you, and monitor the email address you used. The completion windows below are invitation deadlines, not the amount of time spent taking a test.
The Australian hub describes application, psychometric assessment, video interview and assessment centre. Most centres are virtual, with some in person; the invitation determines attendance arrangements.

The local application asks for a CV, cover letter and transcript. Later stages include online assessment, one-way video, online or in-person interviews and a virtual Introduction to Westpac session.
The general Australian process uses conditional language: online testing, recorded video or a phone screen can depend on the role. Hiring-manager interviews or assessment centres may follow, so the graduate sequence should not be applied to every vacancy.
The dedicated graduate application page names a behavioral interview and a business-related case study. It does not establish that every centre includes a group task or the same technical exercise.

The Australian graduate guidance describes a short motivational recording and says it cannot be paused, stopped or restarted. Prepare the environment before beginning and follow the current platform instructions.

An official instructions PDF labeled for 2022 graduates describes gamified cognitive and emotional-intelligence assessments. It does not confirm that the same suite is used for the current intake or identify individual game titles.

Current pages reviewed do not establish a universal assessment vendor, published pass mark or fixed test duration. A background-check company named in recruitment guidance is not evidence of the psychometric supplier.
Use the current application page for the practical requirements.

The New Zealand guide has its own document requirements and final-stage description.
The latest reviewed status and published invitation windows are scoped below. A future program start does not mean applications remain open.
| Cycle | Application dates | Likely assessment window | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Australia: 2027 graduates / 2026 summer interns | Applications marked closed on the reviewed hub | Assessment invitations can require completion within 48 hours | Official source The Australian page says submitted applications are being reviewed. Future vacancies or reopened opportunities should be verified on the official site. Source: Westpac Australia: Graduate & Summer Intern Programs |
| New Zealand: 2027 graduates | Use the current local vacancy; no current closing date confirmed here | Assessment invitations can require completion within 72 hours | Official source The published program start is February 8, 2027. Its reference to a late-July opening does not establish that applications remain open on the review date. |
Prepare against the work of your preferred stream as well as the selection format. The following are practice exercises, not promised interview questions.
Write a brief reason for each preference using the actual work described. For example, the New Zealand program listings distinguish customer-financing and credit work from transaction banking, markets and technology pathways. Avoid submitting three unrelated preferences without a common motivation.
Take a hypothetical customer or business problem. Define the objective, compare two options, consider feasibility and risk, and recommend a next step. Explain what extra information you would need rather than filling gaps with invented facts.
For an Australian AI Science application, rehearse explaining a model choice, evaluation and limitations. For AI Digital, explain a customer journey or product decision. These suggestions reflect the stream’s published focus; they do not establish a coding or design test.
Choose an example of resolving disagreement, learning a new task and improving a customer outcome. Explain your action and result clearly enough that someone outside your subject can follow it.
Test sound and framing, silence notifications and practice answering without reading a script. Keep the invitation deadline, time zone and support instructions available before starting.
An older official 2022 graduate document describes games. Current Australian pages confirm psychometric testing without confirming that old game suite or a current named lineup.
No. The Australian hub says most are virtual but some are in person. Follow the invitation, including any country-specific arrangements.
It can be the Australian deadline to complete an invited assessment. It is not a 48-hour test duration. New Zealand guidance instead mentions invitations with as little as 72 hours.
The dedicated process page names a behavioral interview and business-related case study. Prepare examples and structured reasoning, then follow the exercise briefing.
No. New Zealand has separate application documents, invitation timing and final-stage guidance. Do not import Australian exercise details into a New Zealand invitation.
