These cuts, which will occur over the next three months, will come from the Bankwest Business Banking Transition Team – the very team that has helped customers migrate from Bankwest to CBA.

It’s a slap in the face, especially given the uncertainty over the past three years for staff and customers. Staff are understandably anxious about what this means for them.

CBA has already cut 260 roles, bringing Bankwest job cuts to nearly 400, most of which are in Western Australia.

We are requesting a meeting with WA Treasurer Rita Saffioti to call on the WA Government to step in and address this urgently. The government has been sold a pup, and must hold CBA accountable for abandoning Bankwest staff, along with their customers and local communities.

Yes, I’m impacted by these cuts

We know many Bankwest members are already feeling overworked across many areas of the bank due to relentless job cuts and offshoring – we are calling on CBA to redeploy as many of the 130 roles cut to areas that are already short staffed in Bankwest.
