Access & Inclusion
Our accessibility statement
Westpac is committed to providing accessible products, services and collateral for customers with disability.
To meet the accessibility needs of our customers, we're continually testing and improving our websites, striving to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA and AAA where feasible. We also do our best to ensure our products, services and collateral are created, reviewed, and tested, ensuring customers can independently access them. To find out more, read or listen to our Access and Inclusion Plan.
