REPORTING
SUITE
In preparing this Annual Review we have continued to draw on
aspects of the International Integrated Reporting (IR) Framework
to describe how our business model, strategy, governance and
risk-management processes are addressing our most material
issues and delivering value for our shareholders and other
stakeholders. We outline our response to external social and
environmental challenges, including the work we are undertaking
to rebuild our reputation as a fair and responsible business, driving
sustainable returns for all stakeholders. In future reports we will
seek to achieve a closer alignment with the requirements of the IR
Framework, particularly with respect to the connectivity between
our strategy, performance metrics and remuneration outcomes.
This Review covers all ANZ operations worldwide over which,
unless otherwise stated, we have operational control for the
financial year commencing on 1 October 2017 and ending
30 September 2018. Monetary amounts in this document are
reported in Australian dollars, unless otherwise stated.
We produce a suite of reports to meet the evolving needs and
requirements of a wide range of stakeholders, including investors,
customers, employees, regulators, non-government organisations
and the community.
Our 2018 Annual Report at anz.com/annualreport principally
details our financial information. Our 2018 Corporate Governance
Statement discloses how we have complied with the ASX
Corporate Governance Council’s ‘Corporate Governance Principles
and Recommendations – 3rd edition’. We also provide our Principal
Risks and Uncertainties. These documents are available at
anz.com/corporategovernance.
Our Sustainability Review complements this Annual Review,
providing stakeholders with more detailed sustainability
disclosures, including: performance against our sustainability
targets; our approach to our priority areas of financial wellbeing,
environmental sustainability and housing; and how we are
managing social and environmental risk. This report will be
available at anz.com/cs in December.

JILPANTI ENTERPRISES –
ANZ FORTESCUE PARTNERSHIP
Through our partnership with Fortescue Metals Group Ltd
(Fortescue) we are providing finance to Jilpanti Enterprises Pty
Ltd (Jilpanti). Jilpanti is owned and operated by Puutu Kunti
Kurrama and Pinikura peoples’ Elder Lennie Ashburton and his
son Leonard. The company is providing exploration earthworks
for Fortescue.
“The support of Fortescue and ANZ has allowed Jilpanti to become
a more financially viable entity. Having access to funds to purchase
equipment has meant that we are creating steady growth for our
business, increasing our income and employing Aboriginal people
directly into our business”, Lennie Ashburton explains.
Under the $50 million funding initiative, which is supported by
a guarantee from Fortescue, eligible Indigenous businesses –
especially those without an established trading or credit history
– are able to access finance at a competitive rate through ANZ.
In the case of Jilpanti, they have purchased two 80 tonne
excavators and several vehicles which they would otherwise
have hired at more expensive casual hire rates.
Our Managing Director of Institutional banking in Australia
Graham Turley is pleased that through the partnership
with Fortescue, ANZ is able to open up opportunities for
Indigenous businesses. “We hope that this experience will help
these businesses grow sustainably, become more financially
independent and ultimately drive economic growth and
employment in their communities,” he said.

forANZ’scontinuingoperations
(whichexcludesnon-coreitemsand

$6,487million,down4.7%.
THIS SIMPLIFICATION OF OUR
BUSINESS IS CRITICAL. WE KNOW
A SIMPLER BANK IS MORE FOCUSED
AND EASIER TO MANAGE IN AN
ENVIRONMENT WHERE REGULATION
AND COMPLIANCE IS INCREASING.
The final dividend of 160 cents per share fully franked was
unchanged from 2017. This reflects a dividend payout ratio of
79.5% of cash profit (total Group), with $4.6 billion in dividends paid
to shareholders. This is above our target fully franked payout ratio
of 60–65% of cash profit (total Group), however our strong capital
position has allowed us to maintain a stable dividend.
While growth was subdued, particularly in Australian retail banking,
the fundamentals of our business remain sound. We recognised
many of the headwinds facing the sector early and the actions
commenced several years ago to simplify our business are now
benefiting shareholders.
During the year, we announced the sale of both our Pensions and
Investments businesses to IOOF and our Life Insurance businesses
to Zurich, as well as the sale of our Life Insurance business in New
Zealand to Cigna. We also increased our focus on Institutional
banking with the announced sale of our Retail and Commercial
business in Papua New Guinea to Kina Bank and the sale of our
ANZ Royal Bank (Cambodia) joint venture to J Trust.
We completed the sale of our minority stake in Shanghai Rural
Commercial Bank and the sale of our share in the Philippines-based
Metrobank Card Corporation joint venture.
A highlight of the year was completing the complex separation
of our six retail and wealth businesses in Asia on time and
under budget.
This simplification of our business is critical. We know a simpler
bank is more focused and easier to manage in an environment
where regulation and compliance is increasing. We have
rebalanced our business, improved the returns of the Institutional
Division, delivered consistent outcomes in New Zealand and we are
directing investment and capital to our areas of strategic focus such
as Australian home owners.

ANZ 2018 ANNUAL REVIEW
EARNING TRUST
The Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking,
Superannuation and Financial Services Industry has been
confronting for all of us at ANZ, including the Board. We are
unanimous in our resolve to build a company of which we
and all of our stakeholders can be proud.
We recognise this has not been the case in the last decade and
that we have failed in some circumstances to do the right thing
and to keep the needs of our customers as our priority.
The Board and senior management will improve transparency
with customers and ensure that the balance between earnings
and providing worthwhile, fair and desired services to our
customers is maintained at all times.
This is why we have engaged openly and constructively with the
Royal Commission and will not wait for its final recommendations
before taking action to ensure our failures do not occur again.
We also support strongly the approach that our Chief Executive
Officer, Shayne Elliott has stated publicly which is that where ANZ
has failed we will compensate those affected quickly and fairly and
take steps to ensure that it does not happen again.
The Ethics, Environment, Social and Governance Committee of
the Board is active and well informed. The Board has also made it
known within ANZ that asking the question ‘is this the right thing
to do?’ is critical.
As you will see in the Remuneration Report, variable remuneration
at all levels of ANZ has been materially reduced.
We now have a new executive team running the bank. However,
accountability for our failures is still reflected in this year’s
remuneration of our most senior team including our Chief
Executive Officer.
While the Board itself does not receive variable compensation,
it shares some accountability for what has occurred.
As an indication of the Board’s understanding of its accountability,
existing Non-Executive Directors will receive in FY19 a reduction
of an amount equivalent to 20% of the FY18 base Non-Executive
Director fee (and in my case, 20% of my Chairman’s fee). This is
in addition to the bank’s efforts to identify and fix the causes of
our failures.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Despite these difficult macro conditions, the progress of our
transformation means we have been able to return surplus capital
to shareholders while retaining appropriate flexibility to invest in
our business. This year we have maintained our unquestionably
strong capital levels, reducing shares on issue by 67 million
(equivalent to $1.9 billion) from an announced $3.0 billion share
buyback program.
OUTLOOK
We expect the trading environment in Australia to remain
challenging, particularly in retail banking, as the industry responds
to increasing regulation and compliance costs, as well as
implementing the recommendations of the Royal Commission.
ANZ is well placed to navigate these difficult conditions given
the progress of our transformation and simplification agenda.
Our focus on cost and capital management and our exposure to
international trade and commercial banking also positions ANZ
well for the future.
I know we have the right management team in place, led by
Shayne Elliott, to deliver on a strategy that will create sustained
value for our shareholders, customers and employees well into
the future. I know we are taking the action required to create a
company we can all be proud of.

CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
CEO’S
MESSAGE
SHAYNE ELLIOTT
Retail banking in Australia is facing strong headwinds.
The combined impacts of regulatory and macro prudential
requirements have seen annual housing market growth slow
with a substantial reduction in the average household’s potential
borrowing capacity.
This year we maintained our disciplined approach to home loan
growth, focusing on customers who want to buy and own their
own home. We have deliberately foregone short-term revenue
growth and higher margins, particularly in the investor and
interest-only segments. This focus has driven better risk-adjusted
returns and is in the long-term interest of shareholders.
Institutional banking continued to provide diversified earnings
for the Group with the transformation of our business making
earnings less volatile. ANZ was again named a top-four corporate
bank in Asia and our position as a leading trade bank in the Asian
region will be an even more important differentiator as housing
credit slows in Australia.
ROYAL COMMISSION
This is a critical moment for the industry, our bank and our people.
We continue the urgent work required to fix the significant
failures highlighted by the Royal Commission. We have accepted
responsibility and we are determined to improve.
We have taken action to fast-track fundamental changes
involving leadership, strategy, systems, people and culture.
We are also making the investments required to build a bank
worthy of the trust and respect of our customers, shareholders
and the community.
We will also compensate customers we have failed quickly and
fairly and take steps to ensure that it does not happen again.

OUR PROGRESS
We want to do fewer things and do them really well – while
ensuring they are aligned to our purpose. At the same time, we
need to focus on the areas where we can win and drive a decent
return for shareholders.
In Australia and New Zealand we want to be the best bank for
people who want to buy and own their home and for those who
want to start, run or grow a small business. In Institutional banking
we want to be the best bank in the world for those companies and
organisations that move goods and money around the region.
I am confident our strategy of focus, simplification and digital
transformation is right, indeed essential, for the times. A simpler
organisation is less complex to manage and hence better able to
deliver sustainable earnings – and when things do go wrong, we
are in a better position to fix them quickly.
WE ARE MAKING THE INVESTMENTS

OF THE TRUST AND RESPECT OF OUR
CUSTOMERS, SHAREHOLDERS AND

ANZ 2018 ANNUAL REVIEW
DIGITAL CUSTOMERS
This year we made significant gains in using digital technology
to improve the services we provide to customers, while also
improving our operational capacity and reducing risk.
We rolled out the New Payments Platform to more than three
million retail and commercial customers, allowing them to
transfer funds to other participating banks in real-time with
improved data capability. This was a complex project involving
more than 150 people over three years that will provide
significant benefit to our customers.
During the year, we extended our leadership in mobile payments
with the addition of Fitbit Pay and Garmin Pay, while adding
eftpos on Apple Pay and Android Pay. In an Australian-first we now
allow cash withdrawals from ANZ ATMs using any mobile device.
We also introduced a new mobile banking app that remains the
top-rated banking app in the Australian Apple store with almost
150,000 reviews.
In New Zealand, we made it easier for customers to interact with
the bank through the introduction of a digital assistant, ‘Jamie’,
using artificial intelligence technology to help customers with
the top-40 most asked banking questions.
LIVING OUR PURPOSE
A crucial evolution for our business this year has been identifying,
adopting and embedding a clear sense of purpose: to shape a
world where people and communities thrive.
Along with our values, this underpins everything we do and will
ensure all our people can undertake their work with pride and a
stronger sense of ethics and fairness.
We took action to rebalance sales incentives for front-line staff,
including the removal of all sales incentives for financial planners.
This included offering free advice reviews for customers concerned
about their current financial position.
We invested more than $137 million in the communities in which
we operate, though our employee volunteering and giving
programs, our grants programs, and emergency relief measures
for customers and communities impacted by natural disasters.
This year sadly has been extremely tough for many of our rural
and regional customers in eastern Australia and we implemented
a significant package to help our customers impacted by this once
in a generation drought in NSW and Queensland.
The package included reducing rates on business loans for
farmers by 1% pa in all drought declared areas and setting aside
$130 million for discounted loans to help farmers re-stock and
re-plant for next season. All home owners in drought declared
regions were also excluded from a recent interest rate increase. In
addition, we donated $1 million to rural financial counselling and
community grants assisting farmers in drought-affected areas.
Our purpose also guided our decision to increase our low carbon
finance commitment from $10 billion to $15 billion by 2020,
and since 2015 we have funded $11.5 billion in low carbon and
environmentally sustainable solutions, such as renewable energy
and efficient irrigation. We are reducing our lending to the most
carbon-intensive sectors but doing so in a way that supports our
customers in making a manageable transition to a low carbon future.
Finally, I would like to acknowledge the over 39,000 people who
turn up to work every day to do a better job for our customers,
shareholders and our community. While we know we still have
a significant job ahead of us, we have the right team to deliver a
better bank for all our stakeholders – a bank that can truly shape a
world where people and communities thrive.

CEO’S MESSAGE
BANKING ROYAL
COMMISSION
The Royal Commission’s Interim Report lays out conduct of a
standard below what the community expects and, in some cases,
what the law requires. The observations of the Commission have
rightly dismayed and disappointed Australians.
We have acknowledged to the Commission that ANZ has engaged
in misconduct and conduct falling below community standards
and expectations.
These acknowledgements include that:
-we failed our responsible lending obligations for some car loans;
-financial advice customers paid fees for advice reviews we did
not provide; and
-there have been cases of inappropriate financial advice, together
with other poor conduct by advisors.
The Commission found that in other cases ANZ had failed to meet
community standards and expectations or may have a case to
answer as to misconduct.
The Commission’s Interim Report strengthens our resolve to make
ANZ simpler and better able to serve our customers.
We are improving the accountability of our senior executives for
failures that harm customers. This includes the implementation
of the Banking Executive Accountability Regime (BEAR).
We are also reducing the complexity of the bank, including
by reducing the number of products we offer. While no excuse
for customer harm, complexity makes it harder to identify and
fix problems.
Other steps we are taking to improve customer outcomes are
discussed on the following page.
We will continue to engage constructively with the Royal
Commission as it finishes its work. Our hope is that the Royal
Commission serves as a watershed in the restoration of trust in
financial services. This trust is necessary if financial services are
to help Australians save, borrow and grow their wealth.

CHANGES TO REMUNERATION
We are implementing all recommendations from Stephen
Sedgwick’s ‘Retail Banking Remuneration Review’, which is focused
on strengthening the alignment of retail bank incentives, practices
and good customer outcomes.
We have made significant progress, with actions completed since
commencement of the program including: changing frontline staff
incentive and recognition plans so that no rewards are directly
linked to sales; removing the payment of volume-based incentives
to aggregators, brokers and introducers; changing staff performance
management plans; and focusing our efforts on initiatives that will
support the achievement of sustainable culture change.
We are on track to complete all recommendations ahead of
expected timeframes and will make further changes as quickly
as possible to ensure we achieve full alignment. Management
provides regular updates to the Board Human Resources Committee
on progress. We will continue to report externally through the
Australian Banking Association’s (ABA) reporting framework.
NEW BANKING CODE OF PRACTICE
We are implementing strengthened protections for consumer
and small business customers arising from the new Banking Code
of Practice (Code). The Code has been revised to better reflect
community standards and will be binding and enforceable.
Changes include:
-loan contracts for small businesses that are written in plain
English and easier to understand – we have simplified our main
contract for small business customers, halving contract length
and increasing customer safeguards;
-active promotion of affordable banking products, specifically
assisting people on low incomes to pick appropriate products –
see our discussion below on product suitability;
-assistance for vulnerable customers – we have developed
a new Vulnerable Customer mandatory learning module to
help our staff identify and assist customers experiencing
vulnerable circumstances;
-abolition of fees and commissions on lenders mortgage
insurance; and
-an end to unsolicited offers of credit card increases.
BETTER PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
At the end of 2016, we appointed former Commonwealth Ombudsman
Colin Neave as our first Customer Fairness Advisor – signalling the start
of a number of changes we knew we needed to make.
Customer remediation principles developed by Mr Neave, the key
elements of which are below, have guided our work this year to fix
systemic errors, refund impacted customers more quickly and learn
from our mistakes so as not to repeat them in future.
We have established a Responsible Banking group within our
Australian Retail and Commercial Business, with specialist teams
dedicated to customer remediation, as well as product suitability
and responsible lending.
Our Product Suitability Program aims to achieve fair customer
outcomes via proactive customer contact, triggered by
behavioural indicators in our data. It is intended to help our
customers derive greater value from our products.
We have focused initially on vulnerable customers, particularly
those with persistent credit card debt or with potential for future
financial stress. During the year, our bankers provided financial
education and coaching to around 2,000 customers with persistent
credit card debt on how to use, and pay down, their credit card.
In addition, those customers were offered a lower interest rate
for 12 months, or a product transfer (e.g. from a ‘rewards’ card to
a low-rate card). The results of the pilot were encouraging, with
customers initially increasing their monthly payments and using
their credit cards less, with lower arrears levels.
We are also building product suitability into our product review
processes – for example, we are proactively contacting our home
loan customers paying interest only before they move to principal
and interest payments, to enable them to plan for, and successfully
manage, the transition to higher payments.
Finally, at a product level, this year we have removed ATM fees for
non-ANZ customers and reduced rates on low-rate cards by two
percentage points.
The agile transformation of our workforce – our New Ways of
Working – means we are in a better position to implement
changes in a timely manner with minimum disruption to our
customers. There is more to do but our changes so far are already
making ANZ easier to manage and better for customers.
We recognise that getting the basics of customer service right is
essential to underpinning our social licence as a bank.

IMPROVING CUSTOMER OUTCOMES
OUR CULTURE AND VALUES
Our values are the foundation of how we work and are
supported by our Code of Conduct. All employees and
contractors must comply with the Code, which contains
guiding principles and sets the standards for the way we do
business at ANZ.
Wecareabout:
OUR PURPOSE
Our purpose is to help shape a world in which people
and communities thrive. That means striving to create a
balanced, sustainable society in which everyone can take
part and build a better life.
One of the ways we are bringing our purpose to life is
through helping to address complex issues that matter to
society and are core to our business and strategy. We are
focusing our efforts on financial wellbeing, environmental
sustainability and housing, contributing to these challenges
by: developing innovative and responsible financial
products and services; participating in relevant policy
development and research; strengthening stakeholder
partnerships; and harnessing the skills of our people.
OUR PEOPLE

We are building a workplace that reflects the communities
in which we operate and is inclusive of a wide range
of diversity indicators such as gender, age, caring
responsibilities, cultural identity, disability, sexual orientation,
religious beliefs, education, work experience and socio-
economic background. Leveraging the full diversity of
our workforce gives us a strategic advantage and creates
commercial, social and economic value.
As we seek to achieve diversity within our workforce,
a key focus continues to be on improving the gender
balance within our business. We have targets to improve
the representation of women in leadership, with progress
reviewed monthly by the CEO and the Group Executive
Committee, and results informing the Group’s bonus pool
and performance outcomes.
We are also providing employment opportunities to people
who may find it difficult to secure employment, such as
refugees, people with disability and Indigenous Australians.
A summary of our policy position on Diversity and Inclusion
can be found at anz.com/corporategovernance.
It is important we focus on supporting the wellbeing and
safety of our people. Our Health and Safety policy, and
health, safety and wellbeing (HSW ) programs, ensure that
we provide an environment that enables employees to
participate fully in the workplace and perform at their best.
We also provide opportunities for our people to contribute
to the communities in which they live and work through
our giving and volunteering programs. This year 34.6% of
our employees volunteered 124,113 hours to community
organisations, representing more than 15,514 working days
and more than $4.5 million value to the community.

ANZ EMPLOYEES SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY
Since 2003 our matched savings program, Saver Plus, has helped to
increase the capability of lower income and vulnerable Australians
to create and maintain a savings habit, build financial resilience
and improve financial capabilities. The program was developed
with the Brotherhood of St Laurence and is co-funded by the
Australian Government.
Marcus, pictured with a Saver Plus participant, has been working
at the Fountain Gate branch for nearly ten years. Since 2010, 897
participants have been recruited to the program in the wider Casey-
Cardinia region. ANZ branch staff have provided around 18% of
referrals to Saver Plus, with the remainder from local schools and
through community engagagement.
“I live locally and being able to contribute to my community is very
important. I am proud that ANZ is able to offer this program as
I’ve seen firsthand every day the benefits of building a long term
savings habit,” explains Marcus.
While Saver Plus is delivered by community organisations,
our branch employees play an important role in supporting
participants to save – from promoting the program and opening
savings accounts to attending the MoneyMinded financial
education workshops.
One of the Saver Plus participants referred to the program by
Marcus, completed the program whilst studying. “I am currently
completing a Diploma in Early Education and Childcare and needed
the dollar for dollar matching to purchase a new laptop to complete
my Bachelor’s Degree next year” she said.
More than half of our branch network employees in Australia are
actively involved in the delivery of Saver Plus.

WHAT
MATTERS
MOST
These issues may change over time, reflecting changes in our business and external operating environment and the expectations
of stakeholders. We use the results of the assessment to inform our business strategy thinking and our Sustainability Framework,
reporting and targets.
This year, stakeholders ranked the following issues (risks or opportunities) as having the most potential to impact our value creation
in the short, medium and long-term:
Fairness and ethical conduct: is the highest ranked issue, with the Royal Commission strongly influencing stakeholder
sentiment in Australia. Operating in a fair and ethical manner is seen by stakeholders as fundamental if we are to
demonstrate we are trustworthy. Stakeholders commented on the specific issues of financial incentives resulting in
poor customer outcomes, products with poor value for customers and conduct issues.
Corporate governance: it is well recognised that organisations with strong corporate governance processes and policies
in place are likely to perform better in the longer term. This year stakeholders told us that ANZ needs to identify and act
on misconduct and failures to meet community standards and expectations quickly, and improve remediation. This is
the first time this issue has been ranked in the top five, reflecting stakeholder concerns following the significant failures
highlighted at the Royal Commission.
Fraud and data security: could significantly disrupt the bank’s operations and impact our reputation in the event of a
breach. Ensuring we have strong internal controls and risk management frameworks in place to mitigate this is critical.
Ongoing education of our customers and the wider community about online risks and improving their own data security
is also considered important.
Customer experience: delivering a positive customer experience is a key way in which ANZ can differentiate itself from
competitors and deliver sustainable business performance in the long term. Stakeholders also highlighted fairness,
transparency, accessibility and simplicity of products as critical to demonstrating to customers that they can trust us to
provide them with the right products and services for their circumstances.
Digital innovation: is core to ANZ’s strategy and a key factor in driving positive customer experience. Customer
expectations are being redefined by their experiences with companies using technology in new ways to deliver better
service. Today, the smartphone is our most popular ‘branch’. It is now more important than ever that we work hard to keep
up with digital change and customer expectations to make banking easier for our customers.

ANZ 2018 ANNUAL REVIEW
MATERIAL ISSUES AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Our most material social and environmental risks and opportunities are captured and managed within our existing Material Risk
categories (as the table below shows). There is also a clear link between our Material Risks and the challenges arising from the external
environment in which we operate.
A full list of ANZ’s Material Risks is available on page 38 of the 2018 Annual Report.
MATERIAL RISK TYPEMANAGEMENT OF MATERIAL RISKSMOST MATERIAL
ISSUES
COMPLIANCE RISK
The risk of failure to act in accordance with
laws, regulations, industry standards and
codes, internal policies and procedures and
principles of good governance as applicable
to ANZ’s businesses.
Key features of how we manage Compliance Risk as part of
our Operational Risk framework include:
-centralised management of key obligations, and emphasis
on identifying changes in regulations and the business
environment, so as to enable us to proactively assess emerging
compliance risks and implement robust reporting and
certification processes.
-recognition of incident management as a separate element
to enhance ANZ’s ability to identify, manage and report on
incidents/breaches in a timely manner.
-the Whistleblower Protection Policy allowing employees and
contractors to make confidential, anonymous submissions
regarding concerns relating to accounting, internal control,
compliance, audit and other matters.
OPERATIONAL RISK
The risk of loss and/or non-compliance with
laws resulting from inadequate or failed internal
processes, people and/or systems, or from
external events. This definition includes legal
risk, and the risk of reputation loss, or damage
arising from inadequate or failed internal
processes, people and systems, but excludes
strategic risk.
We operate a three-lines-of-defence model to manage
Operational Risk, with each Line of Defence having defined
roles, responsibilities and escalation paths to support effective
communication and effective management of our operational
risk. Also, we have ongoing review mechanisms to ensure our
Operational Risk framework continues to meet organisational
needs and regulatory requirements.
REPUTATION RISK
The risk of loss that directly or indirectly
impacts earnings, capital adequacy or value,
that is caused by:
-adverse perceptions of the Group held by any
of customers, the community, shareholders,
investors, regulators, or rating agencies;
-conduct risk associated with the Group’s
employees or contractors (or both); or
-the social or environmental (or both)
impacts of our lending decisions.
We manage Reputation Risk by maintaining a positive
and dynamic culture that:
-ensures we act with integrity; and
-enables us to build strong and trusted relationships with
customers and clients, with colleagues, and with the broader
society.
We have well established decision-making frameworks and
policies to ensure our business decisions are guided by sound
social and environmental standards that take into account
Reputation Risk.
STRATEGIC RISK
The risk that the Group’s business strategy and
strategic objectives may lead to an increase in
other key Material Risks – for example: Credit
Risk, Market Risk and Operational Risk.
We consider and manage strategic risks through our annual
strategic planning process, managed by the Executive
Committee and approved by the Board. Any increase to our
key Material Risks is managed in accordance with our risk
management practices.
TECHNOLOGY RISK
The risk of loss and/or non-compliance with
laws resulting from inadequate or failed internal
processes, people and systems or from external
events impacting on IT assets, including the
compromise of an IT asset’s confidentiality,
integrity or availability.
Consistent with the management of Operational Risk, we
operate a three-lines-of-defence model to manage Technology
Risk, with each Line of Defence having defined roles,
responsibilities and escalation paths to support effective
communication and effective management of our technology
risk. We also have ongoing review mechanisms to ensure our
Operational Risk framework, which is also used to manage
Technology Risk, continues to meet organisational needs and
regulatory requirements.

OUR OPERATING
ENVIRONMENT
Weneedtoanticipateandrespondtotherisksandopportunitiesarising
inourexternalenvironmenttoensurethatwecancontinuetocreatevalue
forourstakeholders.
In addition to the regulatory and reputational impacts associated with the Royal Commission, we are responding to a number of other trends
and challenges in our external environment. A summary of the issues influencing our strategy and the way we respond is outlined below.
THESE GLOBAL TRENDS PRESENT US WITH RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES
GLOBAL TRENDRISKSOPPORTUNITIES
Digital
advancement
and technological
change
-Competition from existing and new competitors
is increasing, supported by Government policy,
such as the proposed consumer data right.
-With the increase in digitisation, strong cyber
security capability is critical.
-By improving our digital capabilities and
investing in cyber security, we can serve
our customers in new and innovative ways,
meeting their needs for safe and secure digital
banking solutions.
Globalisation
-Community concerns about aspects of trade and
investment can potentially limit opportunities.
-With increasing globalisation and the rise of Asia,
we can support our customers to increase their
cross border trade and investment.
-Increased trade and investment leads to higher
incomes and employment for the communities
in which ANZ operates.
Demographic
changes
-Demand for home lending in Australia and
New Zealand is impacted by a range of supply
and demand factors largely outside of our
control, including population growth, housing
prices and dwelling construction.
-Community concerns about housing
affordability remain high. We can help by
partnering with business, government and
NGOs to deliver innovative and practical
housing solutions.
Lower credit
growth
environment
-Increasing competition and regulatory
requirements places pressure on margins and
customer volumes.
-New approaches are needed to deliver products
and services to our customers, together with
efficient allocation of capital and resources to
generate returns to shareholders.
Environment
and climate
-We will continue to experience negative
reputational impacts if we fail to raise standards
across all our activities and take customer and
societal impacts into consideration when making
business decisions.
-By continuing to focus on improving customer
outcomes and strengthening our standards
on issues such as environmental sustainability
and human rights, we have an opportunity to
differentiate ourselves from our peers.
OUR STRATEGY AIMS TO RESPOND POSITIVELY TO THIS
ENVIRONMENT AND MEET SOCIETAL EXPECTATIONS
Creating a simpler, better
balanced bank: we are
reducing operating costs and
risks by removing product
and management complexity
and exiting low-return and
non-core businesses.
Focusing on areas where
we can win: we are making
buying and owning a home or
starting, running and growing
a small business in Australia
and New Zealand easy. We
want to be the best bank in
the world for customers driven
by the movement of goods
and capital in our region.
Building a superior everyday
experience to compete in the
digital age: we are building
more convenient, engaging
banking solutions to simplify
the lives of customers and our
own people.
Driving a purpose and
values-led transformation:
we are creating a stronger
sense of core purpose, ethics
and fairness, investing in
leaders who can help sense
and navigate the rapidly
changing environment.

ANZ 2018 ANNUAL REVIEW
SAFE AG SYSTEMS – THE GRAHAM GROUP
The Graham Group (the Group) is a multi-generational South
Australian farming family headed by Mark and Caroline Graham.
Originally focused on grain production, the business has diversified
and now encompasses Watervalley Farms, a broad acre cropping
business in the Yorke Peninsula, and Regional Skills Training
(RST), a registered training organisation providing agronomic,
management and compliance training to farmers in South
Australia. RST has plans to expand to the eastern States in the
coming year.
Caroline Graham and daughter Katy Landt have also launched a
start-up technology business, Safe Ag Systems, providing software
that enables farming enterprises across Australia to manage their
legislative obligations and incorporate workplace health and safety
requirements into their operations. Almost 2,000 Australian farmers
are now using the software and, pending a successful capital
raising, the Group plans to take its software to overseas markets.
As the Group’s business has diversified, they have benefited from
their long-term relationship with ANZ.
“ANZ has a genuine understanding of all aspects of our business.
They have provided flexible and timely options and have always
supported the Group as we have expanded. This relationship will
continue to grow as our plans for the future are implemented,”
Mark Graham said.
We are proud of the relationship we share with the Graham family.
They have strong ties to their local community and are making
a positive impact to agribusiness in Australia. Agribusiness is an
important part of ANZ’s history, and banking customers like the
Graham family aligns with our commitment to help Australian
businesses grow.

OUR
STRATEGY

respondtoachallengingworld.
Becoming a simpler bank enables us to invest our resources to build better systems and processes, to fix things that are broken
and to develop products, services and programs that improve the financial wellbeing of our customers and the community.
We are repositioning the bank for the longer term – focused on
fewer things and doing them really well:
-creating the best bank in Australia and New Zealand for home
owners and small businesses
-building the best bank in the world for clients driven by trade
and capital flows between Australia, New Zealand and Asia
-establishing a common, digital-ready infrastructure and using
data to better assist our customers to succeed in a digital world.
While the environment in which we operate is changing at a
rapid pace, the four priorities that underpin our strategy continue
to drive our transformation. We have made significant progress
over the past two and a half years, but recognise that we still have
much to do.
Variable remuneration is designed to focus our CEO and Disclosed
Executives on key measures supporting our business strategy, and
encourage the delivery of value for shareholders. Group, Division
and individual performance is considered to determine their
variable remuneration recommendations. In respect of Group
performance, an assessment against a range of annual and longer-
term strategic indicators is undertaken across the categories
of Risk, Financial and Discipline, Customer, and People and
Reputation. Together these inform the overall Group assessment.

While cost outcomes were below target (resulting from the large/notable items), we maintained a strong balance sheet, and
divestments during the year reduced the complexity of the Group. Total shareholder returns were positive relative to peers and return
on equity was on target. Organic capital generation remained strong. Capital, funding and liquidity continued to be well above
regulatory minimums.

ANZ 2018 ANNUAL REVIEW
ZONZO ESTATE
We are helping our business customers start, run and grow their
businesses. Our presence in the Asia Pacific region enables us to
assist them to expand their networks and enter new markets.
”Challenging local and global environments mean many
Australian businesses are looking to diversify and they’re focused
on where the world’s long-term growth is – Asia. More of our
customers are coming to us to seek advice on regional demand
for their products or services and to help to identify new revenue
opportunities” said Mark Hand, Group Executive, Australia
Business and Private Banking.
More than 20 of our retail and wholesale Australian business
customers have participated in our ‘Opportunity Asia’ delegation
to Shanghai and Hong Kong. Taking place over five days, the
program included seminars, panel sessions and networking
events focused on practical information to help our customers
realise their growth aspirations. Participants had an opportunity
to showcase their products at events attended by local experts
and potential suppliers, as well as representatives of the Australian
Government and industry bodies.
Rod Micallef of Zonzo Estate, a winery and restaurant in Victoria’s
Yarra Valley, took part in the delegation. Reflecting on his
experience, Rod said that “joining the delegation gave us a great
insight into the Asian market and has since led to sales in China.”

ANZ 2018 ANNUAL REVIEW
MAKING SAVINGS POSSIBLE
Nigel, pictured with his daughter Molly, first heard about the
Saver Plus program from Molly’s primary school.
“I originally joined the program for the dollar for dollar matching
to help purchase a new computer for Molly” explains Nigel.
“The matched savings came in handy, but what I learnt from the
program was more valuable in the long-run.”
“The program has taught me that with commitment and
consistency we can make saving possible. I put aside $50 each
month with my daughter, even though it was difficult at times.”
Nigel credits Saver Plus with inspiring his daughter to save.
Of particular value to Nigel was the MoneyMinded online modules
he completed as part of the program, often alongside Molly.
“My daughter took an interest in the bank statements and we
talked about what we would do with the extra funds coming in. We
talked about a compound interest managed share fund, and this is
now what we are doing with the savings. She could see how much
the funds would achieve over many years of compound interest.”
This year, more than 4,000 people in Australia have benefited from
Saver Plus, our financial education and matched savings program
for lower-income earners. Participants make regular deposits
towards a savings goal over a 10-month period and complete
MoneyMinded workshops (either face to face or online) to build
their financial management skills. At the end of the program
participants’ savings are matched dollar for dollar, up to $500 for
education costs.

on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). Our disclosure includes: 1) how we identify climate-related risks and opportunities;
2) who is accountable for managing the risks and opportunities; 3) how climate change informs our business strategy; and 4) the
actions we are taking, including targets, to measure our progress.
Our 2017 disclosures were recently reviewed by the TCFD
2
. While the report confirmed we had taken up many of their recommendations,
there were some suggestions for improvement. For example, it was suggested we provide information on a wider range of customers
(beyond the thermal coal supply chain) and risks, particularly physical risks. We are considering the TCFD’s feedback on our disclosures
and will continue to seek to improve their usefulness to stakeholders.
GOVERNANCE
Our Board has the highest level of oversight for climate change.
The Ethics, Environment, Social and Governance (EESG) Committee
of the Board meets quarterly and is responsible for reviewing
and approving our climate-related objectives and performance,
including goals and targets to support action on climate change.
The Board Risk Committee has responsibility for the overview of
ANZ’s management of new and emerging risks, including climate-
related risks.
At an executive level, the Ethics and Responsible Business
Committee (ERBC) provides leadership on our sustainability
risks and opportunities, monitoring progress against our targets,
including those related to climate change. The ERBC is also
responsible for:
-guiding which industry sectors, customers and transactions
we bank, to align with our purpose, strategy and values, and
our public statements on issues such as climate change;
-assessing current and emerging ethical, social, environmental
and governance risks and opportunities.
STRATEGY
Identification and management of our material sustainability
risks and opportunities, including those related to climate change,
supports the achievement of our business strategy. Environmental
sustainability is one of our key priorities and accordingly we
are: establishing low carbon financial products and services;
creating policies to guide which customers we bank; training staff
on climate-related risk; and seeking to reduce our operational
footprint in line with our targets.
Our business needs to be resilient under a range of climate-related
scenarios. To improve our capacity to use scenario analysis as an
input to our strategy, we joined with 15 other banks this year to
develop methods to improve stress testing of our business lending
portfolio for climate-related risk. This work sought to overcome
some of the challenges facing banks in modelling climate-related
risks, for example:
-identifying the potential economic impact of climate-related
scenarios e.g. changes to commodity prices or production and
impact on customer revenues; and
-assessing these potential impacts on a customer’s capacity to repay
debt (i.e. credit risk) over a longer period than the usual 2–3 years.
The working group was coordinated by the United Nations
Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI). During the
pilot we developed and tested approaches and methodologies to
inform our risk management and identify opportunities to support
our customers, considering both ‘transition risks’ and ‘physical risks’.

ANZ 2018 ANNUAL REVIEW
We ‘stress tested’ customers within the mining and metals
(transition risk) and agriculture (physical risk) sectors, and results
were in line with our expectations. For example, in our agricultural
portfolio the average customer credit rating remained stable in
three out of four climate scenarios tested, with a downgrade of
one level under a 4°C warming scenario.
1
More significant impacts
were identified for customers with weaker credit profiles. These
results will inform discussions with our customers as we seek to
support them to manage risk and identify business opportunities,
such as investing in assets or commodities that are more resilient
to climate change.
Building on work undertaken in 2017, we continued scenario
testing a select group of customers in the thermal coal supply
chain (encompassing extraction, coal rail transport, coal-
associated ports and coal-fired power generation). We re-tested
some customers to look for any significant changes since our
What are transition risks?: the technology, policy and
regulatory changes that may affect our customers’ businesses
as governments act on their pledges to reduce carbon
emissions under the Paris Agreement. We have developed
methodologies that enable us to examine a particular sector,
e.g. metals and mining, and to conduct portfolio-wide analysis
examining potential impacts on customers’ risk profiles.
Transition opportunities: while changes associated with
a transition to a low carbon economy present potential risk,
they also create potential opportunities for organisations
focused on climate change mitigation and adaptation. This
is why we have committed to fund and facilitate at least $15
billion by 2020 towards environmentally sustainable solutions
for our customers, including initiatives that help lower carbon
emissions, improve water stewardship and minimise waste.
What are physical risks?: risks associated with changing
weather patterns, rainfall variability, extreme weather events
such as cyclones or floods, and the impacts on our customers,
e.g. change in production of agricultural commodities and
price fluctuations resulting from global supply and demand.

See case study 1, pp. 29-32 UNEP FI report ‘Navigating a New Climate’ at www.unepfi.org/banking/tcfd
earlier assessment, and included some new customers not tested
in 2017. Our engagement this year with a number of these
thermal coal customers supplemented our scenario testing and
improved our understanding of how they are managing the
potential impacts of climate change, including their ability to
adapt their business strategy.
Our analysis revealed varying degrees of preparedness for thermal
coal customers in managing transition risks. In the medium to long
term, risks are higher for companies with higher revenue reliance
on thermal coal and with business strategies less prepared for
an early shift to a low carbon economy. In the short term, these
customers have benefited from robust demand for high quality
thermal coal in Asian markets.
We will continue to engage with our thermal coal and other
customers to understand how they are preparing their
businesses to manage potential transition risks. A number of our
customers have begun releasing disclosures in line with the TCFD
recommendations – this is informing our customer conversations.
In 2019, we will seek to enhance our understanding of climate-
related risks associated with our residential mortgage portfolio by:
-undertaking a geospatial analysis of current flood related risks
in a specific location; and
-developing indicators to test the financial capability of home
loan customers to withstand the identified risks.
We have identified several other risks and opportunities
associated with climate change that have the potential to
generate substantive change in our business operations, revenue
and expenditure. These include:
Energy policy/regulation: the introduction of energy policies
and regulations, supporting lower prices, emissions and improved
reliability, provide a more stable environment for investment, and
subsequently revenue opportunities, with existing customers and
in new markets.
Changes in precipitation extremes and droughts: we bank a
large number of agribusinesses in rural and regional Australia and
New Zealand. Many of these regions have been impacted in recent
years by drought and high temperatures, adversely affecting
production levels and reducing revenues. This may impact their
ability to repay loans.
THE IMPORTANCE OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Buildings represent around 30% of the world’s energy use, and more than 55% of global electricity
demand – hence the importance of energy efficiency in meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement.
In recognition of this, we will now only consider financing the construction of new large-scale office
buildings which achieve or exceed a National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS) 4.5
star standard (or equivalent international rating), ‘as designed’. Importantly, from a credit risk perspective,
energy efficient buildings generally have lower tenancy vacancy rates and may attract higher rents.
33OUR CLIMATE-RELATED FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES
RENEWING OUR SUPPORT FOR PARIS
The transition to a net-zero carbon economy require a ‘whole-
of-economy’ approach, with all sectors having a role to play.
This year we reviewed our approach to climate change.
Our focus is on ensuring an orderly and just transition that
gives careful consideration to the impacts on communities
and manages our climate-related risks, while increasing
our ambition to lower emissions in the energy, transport,
buildings and agricultural sectors.
Our revised Climate Change Statement commits us to the
following actions:
-encouraging and supporting 100 of our largest emitting
customers in the energy, transport, buildings and food,
beverage and agricultural sectors to establish, and where
appropriate, strengthen existing low carbon transition plans,
by 2021
-encouraging customers that have coal-fired generation
assets to work towards setting medium and long-term
emission reduction targets up to 2050 that contribute
towards achieving a ‘less than 2 ̊C target’
-no direct financing for the development of new coal-fired
power stations that emit more than 0.8t CO
2
/MWh
-focusing on existing customers producing coal that when
used for power generation results in lower emissions, and
reducing our exposure to thermal coal mining
-providing incentives for customers to reduce emissions,
such as facilitating, together with government, concessional
loans for corporate and agribusiness customers to buy
energy-efficient equipment; and
-only financing the construction of new large-scale office
buildings which achieve or exceed a NABERS 4.5 star
standard (or equivalent international rating) ‘as designed’.
Changing consumer behaviours: businesses’ response to
climate change, including the adoption of new technologies and
practices, presents a number of risks and opportunities, including
the provision of funding and advisory services to customers
involved in renewable energy generation; construction/
retrofitting of ‘green buildings’ and less emissions intensive
manufacturing and transport.
Liquidity risks: liquidity risk exists for customers exposed to
climate-related risks. This may add risk to refinance events,
something we have recently observed in relation to infrastructure
dependent on the resources sector.
Reputation risks: damage to our reputation as a result of funding
industries seen as contributing to climate change may have a
range of impacts, including adverse effects on our profitability,
funding costs, increased regulatory scrutiny and availability of new
business opportunities. Our ability to attract and retain customers
could also be adversely affected if our reputation is damaged, in
turn impacting our business, operations and performance.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Our most material climate change risks and opportunities result
from our lending to business and retail customers, including
credit-related losses incurred as a result of a customer being
unable or unwilling to repay debt.
Under our risk management framework, our material risk category
of Credit Risk incorporates the risks associated with lending to
customers that could be impacted by climate change or by
changes to laws, regulations, or other policies such as carbon
pricing and climate change adaptation or mitigation policies.
It also includes changes to the cost and level of insurance cover
available to our customers. Climate change risk has been added
to the Group and Institutional Risk Appetite Statements to ensure
the risk is appropriately identified and assessed.
We are developing an organisational culture that encourages
regular discussion and consideration of emerging climate-related
risks. Our Risk team is working with our bankers, encouraging
them to talk to their customers about managing the risks and
opportunities associated with climate change.
METRICS AND TARGETS
We use a range of metrics to assess the impact of climate-related risks on our business activities and set targets in line with our strategy,
in particular around engaging with customers to understand their plans to transition to a low carbon economy.

ANZ 2018 ANNUAL REVIEW
INDUSTRY ASSOCIATIONS
We work in a collaborative and open way as members of associations that have similar policy interests. In 2018 our key
memberships and payments to them were: Australian Banking Association $5,274,041, Business Council of Australia $93,500,
New Zealand Bankers’ Association $284,241 (NZD), Business New Zealand $40,250 (NZD), Financial Services Council $214,154,
Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia $69,300 and Insurance Council of Australia $28,318
1
.
Payments to the Australian Banking Association include the annual fees as well as expenditure related to communications
activity, contributions by major banks to the establishment of a not-for-profit Debt Repayment Service, industry initiatives in
response to the Royal Commission’s work, and industry reform activity (such as the new Banking Code of Practice).
HOW WE REVIEW OUR ALIGNMENT WITH INDUSTRY ASSOCIATIONS
We understand our stakeholders are interested in the position
we take on issues such as climate change and energy policy,
and our membership of industry associations that undertake
advocacy on these issues.
Some associations have broad memberships, such as the
Business Council of Australia, and develop policy agendas
on a wide variety of matters, such as tax, education, business
regulation, climate change and energy.
We understand it is not possible for industry associations
to obtain a consensus on every issue. There is sometimes
disagreement amongst members about the final positions
taken by industry associations. Even if we do not agree
with every position taken, we will retain our membership
provided we are able to have constructive dialogue within
the association, and they are receptive to members’ feedback
regarding their approaches to lobbying or advocacy.
It is also important to note that industry associations do not
represent the views of any single member. On some issues
we will communicate our views directly, through submissions,
media comment, speeches by senior executives at industry
forums and public reports.

THE POWER OF PARTNERSHIPS
In December 2017 ANZ announced its participation in a Telstra-
led collective to execute a renewable energy power purchase
agreement (PPA) for the Murra Warra Wind Farm, located near
Horsham in North-West Victoria. Coca Cola Amatil and the
University of Melbourne also joined this collective.
An electricity supply contract between a renewables project and
an energy buyer, a PPA typically has a long contract term of around
six to 12 or more years. They require an upfront agreement on the
cost of electricity and/or green products for the life of the contract.
As a result, PPAs can generate substantial energy cost savings while
delivering new and additional renewable energy onto the grid.
“As well as reducing energy costs, the project will provide
significant environmental benefits and substantial support to the
local community and regional economy, ” said RES Australia CEO
Matt Rebbeck the PPA project developer and operator.
Stage one of the project is currently under construction and due
for completion in early 2019. Once both stages are complete
the wind farm will have 429 megawatts of capacity, making it
larger than any wind farm currently operating in the Southern
Hemisphere.
Entering into this PPA is one of the ways ANZ is supporting the
transition to a low carbon economy.

2018 VARIABLE REMUNERATION AWARDED
This table shows the VR awarded to the CEO and current
Disclosed Executives for the year ending 30 September 2018,
and what this represents as a % of their target opportunity and
maximum opportunity.
The average variable remuneration awarded to the CEO and
current Disclosed Executives is 78% of target (53% of maximum),
which appropriately reflects ANZ’s overall performance and
the impact to the overall ANZIP variable remuneration pool.
Only the cash component will be received this year. The deferred
shares will vest evenly over four years. The performance rights may
or may not vest when tested against the performance hurdles in
three years’ time.
2018 ACTUAL REMUNERATION RECEIVED
This table shows the remuneration the CEO and current Disclosed Executives actually received in relation to the 2018 performance year as cash;
or in the case of prior equity awards, the value which vested in 2018. The final column also shows the value of prior equity awards which lapsed
in 2018 (these awards reflect the 2014 performance rights which failed to meet the performance hurdles when tested in November 2017).
Only the cash component of the 2018 VR award appears in this table, as the other components are deferred and may/may not vest in future years.

ANZ 2018 ANNUAL REVIEW
WATSON BLINDS AND AWNINGS
We understand that running a small business is challenging.
To support our customers while they focus on growing their
business, we facilitate access to Employment Hero for business
customers, free of charge.
Employment Hero is an online human resources (HR) platform
that combines various HR functions into one centralised
self-service portal, helping Australian businesses navigate the
complexity, and reduce the time spent managing HR related
issues.
Watson Blinds and Awnings, marking its 50th anniversary
this year, is one of more than 900 customers benefiting from
Employment Hero this year.
“Since the introduction of Employment Hero, we have reduced
time spent on payroll data entry from eight hours to two. We
have introduced new technology that enables our employees to
access their information on their mobile devices. As we continue
to grow our business, having a cloud payroll system will allow us
to capture accurate information and process pays seamlessly”.
“In the past, our employee on-boarding process has involved
lots of form filling for our employees – tax file declarations,
superannuation declarations, bank account details forms,
emergency contacts and hard copies of employment contracts.
Employment Hero does all of this without the need for paper.
In addition, it’s a more positive on-boarding experience for
employees, which I’m sure will make us more appealing to the
next generation of employees, the majority of whom are digitally
savvy” said Raymond Watson.
Established by John Watson in Canberra, the business is now
owned and operated by John’s sons Raymond and Kevin.
Succession planning is underway, with the third generation
Rohan, Tim and Amanda Watson, buying into the business. We
are working closely with the Watson family and their accountant
to help them manage a smooth succession and realise their
retirement goals.
Supporting businesses such as Watson Blinds and Awnings,
so they can focus on their day to day business, aligns with our
commitment to helping Australian businesses grow and succeed
in a changing world.

ANZ 2018 ANNUAL REVIEW
ASSEMBLE AND MAKE VENTURES
Housing affordability is a challenge faced by many people in
Australia and New Zealand, particularly younger people and
those on lower-incomes.
Assemble, a residential developer, has created the Assemble Model
– a new ‘build-to-rent’ hybrid model that bridges the gap between
renting and owning your home. It offers residents the security
and stability of a five-year lease with the opportunity (but not the
obligation) to purchase their home at the end of the lease. The
purchase price is fixed from the start of the lease, giving residents
a set goal to save towards and mitigating the risk of being priced
out of the market during the rental period. It also protects against
rental insecurity, with the rent set at a market rate and agreed up
front, enabling residents to have the ability to plan-ahead while
they save and settle into the local community.
According to Kris Daff, Managing Director, Assemble and MAKE
Ventures, “the model aims to address the fundamental desire
for the majority of Australians to own their own home – and is a
direct response to multi-level government policies on housing
affordability.”
ANZ is financing the development and has worked with Assemble
to refine their model providing advice on funding options,
valuation methodology and risk management. Our Retail business
has assisted Assemble to understand consumer purchasing
profiles, retail mortgage lending parameters and appropriate
strategies to support potential purchasers to save for their deposit
prior to the end of the lease.
“We now have over 2,500 aspiring homebuyers interested in
participating in Assemble’s home ownership pathway and, with
ANZ’s support, we have a pipeline of future projects to cater for
this growing customer base” said Kris.
