Bankwest closures: more questions than answers

Things are moving quickly around the closure of Bankwest’s branch and ATM network. 

While more information has been shared by the bank, it’s led to further questions about alternative jobs, work location arrangements and rights to retrenchment.

We’ve asked the bank for clarification and will continue to do so throughout this process on behalf of members. 

Join our FSU meeting next Wednesday 27 March, 6pm (AWST) so we can inform you about our discussions with bank representatives, and tell us if you have further questions or concerns that have yet to be addressed.

Fortnightly sessions coming soon 

We’ve now established a regular meeting with bank representatives so we can get the answers you need. 

We’ll soon host fortnightly sessions for Bankwest staff so we can provide you with immediate updates from our discussions with bank representatives and give you the opportunity to ask ongoing questions about the process or your rights and entitlements. 

Keep an eye out for an invitation to our fortnightly sessions, coming soon. 

If you haven’t already done so, we strongly encourage you to complete our feedback form throughout the consultation process. 

If you’re not already a member, join today.
