Job description

About the team:

Our Indigenous Customer Assistance Line (ICAL) is the first of its type for banking in Australia. Our team was developed to provide a relevant banking service for our remote Indigenous customers in Far North QLD and surrounding islands, NT, WA & far North SA to assist them with managing their money.

Day to day you’ll be on the phone to customers, delivering outstanding customer service. You’ll answer questions about their banking, promote our self-service options, and identify issues and service gaps.

  • Ensure that communication and information to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Peoples/communities is culturally appropriate and effective.
