Westpac’s 2021-2024 Access and Inclusion Plan focuses on inclusion in the workplace and the accessible design of products and services. It was developed in consultation with the accessibility sector and through feedback from the lived experiences of customers and employees with disability.
The commitments in the plan are based on the Australian Network on Disability’s ‘Access and Inclusion Index’ benchmarking tool, and include areas such as the accessibility of Westpac’s workplaces, communication and marketing, technology, and products and services, and diversity in recruitment.
