up to A$30,000 of new fully paid ordinary shares (“SPP Shares”) without incurring any brokerage or

transaction costs.

.

Details of the SPP

Participation in the SPP is optional and is only open to shareholders who were registered holders of

shares at the record date (being 7.00pm (Sydney time) on 1 November 2019), and shown on the

register to have an address in Australia or New Zealand (“Eligible Shareholders”).

Eligible Shareholders will be able to apply for SPP Shares at the lower of:

WESTPAC BANKING CORPORATION

Chairman's Letter

12 November 2019

Dear Shareholder

Westpac Share Purchase Plan

On behalf of the Board of Westpac Banking

Corporation (“Westpac”), I am pleased to offer

you the opportunity to participate in the Westpac

Share Purchase Plan (“SPP”). The SPP provides each

Eligible Shareholder with an opportunity to apply

for up to A$30,000 worth of Westpac fully paid

ordinary shares (“Shares”). Participation is optional.

Shares purchased under the SPP ("SPP Shares") will

be at the same price, or lower, than Shares issued

under the recent institutional Placement, as detailed

opposite. There are no brokerage or transaction

costs of participating.

Westpac is targeting to raise approximately A$500

million under the SPP. At our absolute discretion, we

may issue more or less SPP Shares than that target

amount. If we issue more SPP Shares than the target,

Applications may need to be scaled back depending

on demand.

We are raising capital to further strengthen the

balance sheet, support customers' growth and

to give Westpac an increased buffer above the

Australian Prudential Regulation Authority’s

(“APRA”) ‘unquestionably strong’ common equity

tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio benchmark of 10.5%.

Westpac is raising capital through this SPP and the

institutional Placement, which together are expected

to raise around A$2.5 billion.

The total capital being raised is expected to lift

the Westpac Group’s capital ratios by around 58

basis points and will provide flexibility to respond

to additional factors that may impact capital in the

period ahead, including regulatory actions, litigation

and changes in APRA or the Reserve Bank of New

Zealand capital rules.

To be eligible to participate in the SPP, you must

have been a registered holder of Shares at the

Record Date (7.00pm (Sydney time) on 1 November

2019) and shown on the Register to have an address

in Australia or New Zealand ("Eligible Shareholder").

Details of the SPP Offer, including how to apply, are

on pages 5 and 6.

The fastest and easiest way to apply and pay is by

BPAY®

. Alternatively, you can complete and return

the enclosed personalised Application Form with

your Application payment.

Please ensure that the Registrar receives your

Application and Application payment by the Closing

Date (expected to be 5.00pm (Sydney time) on 2

December 2019).

This SPP Booklet sets out the details and the terms

and conditions of the SPP and I encourage you to

read it carefully and in full, and to seek your own

financial and taxation advice in relation to the SPP

Offer, before making a decision on whether to

participate. If you have any additional questions you

can call Westpac's SPP Information Line (see details

in the Corporate Directory at the back of this SPP

Booklet).

On behalf of the Board of Westpac, I thank you for

your continued support.

Yours sincerely

Frequently Asked Questions

8

What do I do if I

am a Custodian?

If you are a Custodian, you may choose whether or not to apply for SPP

Shares on behalf of your Eligible Beneficiaries.

If you wish to apply as a Custodian to receive SPP Shares for one or

more Eligible Beneficiaries, you must complete and submit an additional

Custodian Certificate before your Application will be accepted. Applications

by Custodians that are not accompanied by a duly completed Custodian

Certificate will be rejected.

Custodians should contact the Registrar on Westpac’s SPP Information Line

(see details in the Corporate Directory at the back of this SPP Booklet) to

request a Custodian Certificate that contains these certifications and other

details required to be provided by the Custodian.

By applying as a Custodian on behalf of Eligible Beneficiaries to purchase

SPP Shares, you certify (among other things) that each Eligible Beneficiary

has not applied for an amount exceeding A$30,000 across all of their

holdings.

Westpac is not required to determine, and will not determine, the identity

or residence of any beneficial owners of Shares. Each Custodian will need to

determine for itself whether its beneficiaries are Eligible Beneficiaries.

Each Custodian must not participate in the SPP on behalf of, and must not

distribute this SPP Booklet or any other document relating to the SPP to,

any person in the United States. Failure to comply with these restrictions

may result in violations of applicable securities laws.

9

Can my offer

under the SPP be

transferred to a

third party?

No. Under the SPP Offer, you cannot transfer your offer to apply for SPP

Shares to anyone else.

10

How much can I

invest under the

SPP?

If you are an Eligible Shareholder, you may apply for up to a total of

A$30,000 worth of SPP Shares across all your holdings.

11

What will

happen if

Westpac

scales back

Applications?

If Westpac scales back Applications in its absolute discretion, you may

receive less SPP Shares than the Parcel of SPP Shares for which you have

applied. Should this happen, the difference between the value of SPP

Shares issued to you (calculated using the Issue Price) and the Application

payment you made will be refunded to you, without interest.

If a refund is made for shareholders whose dividends are paid in Australian

dollars, payment will be made in the same manner that Westpac’s dividends

are paid. This may be either by direct deposit to a bank account or by

cheque, according to your instructions held by the Registrar, at the time the

payment is made. If a refund is made for shareholders whose dividends are

paid in New Zealand dollars, payment will be made by an Australian dollar

cheque. Refunds will be made as soon as practicable after the SPP closes.

12

Will I receive

notification of

my issue?

Yes. The Registrar will send you a holding statement on or around 12

December 2019 which will include details of the number of SPP Shares

issued to you and the Issue Price of the SPP Shares.

You are responsible for confirming your allocation of SPP Shares before

trading SPP Shares to avoid the risk of selling SPP Shares you do not own.

Frequently Asked Questions

13

Can I withdraw

my Application

(e.g. if the

market price of

Shares falls after

submitting my

Application?)

No. Your Application, once submitted, is unconditional and may not be

withdrawn even if the market price of Shares is less than the Issue Price.

By submitting your Application, you are accepting the risk that the market

price of Shares may change between the date on which you submit your

Application and the Issue Date. This means that, up to or after the Issue

Date, you may be able to buy Shares on market at a lower price than the

Issue Price.

14

What do I do

if I receive

more than one

Application

Form by post or

email?

Eligible Shareholders who receive more than one Application Form under

the SPP because, for example, they hold Shares in more than one capacity

or in different registered holdings, may apply on different Application Forms

for SPP Shares but may not apply for SPP Shares with a total dollar amount

exceeding A$30,000 across all of their holdings.

15

What rights will

the SPP Shares

have?

SPP Shares will rank equally with existing Shares quoted on the ASX, with

the same voting rights, dividend rights and other entitlements from the

Issue Date. The SPP Shares will not be entitled to receive the 2019 final

dividend of 80 cents per Share, as the SPP Shares will be issued after the

record date for the 2019 final dividend of 13 November 2019.

If Westpac receives an amount that is not equal to A$1,000, A$2,500, A$5,000, A$10,000, A$15,000,

A$20,000, A$25,000 or A$30,000, Westpac will round down the dollar amount of SPP Shares that

you are applying for to the next lowest Parcel or, if Westpac receives less than A$1,000, reject your

Application and refund your Application payment that is not used to purchase SPP Shares, without

interest, as soon as practicable following the issue of SPP Shares.

(b) Eligible Shareholders (other than Custodians) who receive more than one offer under the SPP via post

or email (for example, because they hold Shares in more than one capacity or in different registered

holdings) may apply on different Application Forms for SPP Shares but may not apply for SPP Shares

with a total dollar amount of more than A$30,000.

SPP Terms and Conditions

WESTPAC BANKING CORPORATION

6. Rights Attaching to the SPP Shares

Shares issued under the SPP will rank equally in all respects with existing Shares quoted on the ASX, with the

same voting rights, dividend rights and other entitlements. The SPP Shares will not be entitled to receive the

2019 final dividend of 80 cents per Share because the SPP Shares will be issued after the record date for the

2019 final dividend of 13 November 2019.

7. Scaleback

(a) Westpac may in its absolute discretion allocate to you less SPP Shares than the value of the Parcel you

have applied for. Westpac may in its absolute discretion determine to apply any scaleback to the extent

and in the manner it sees fit.

(b) If there is a scaleback, you may receive less than the Parcel for which you have applied. If a scaleback

produces a fractional number of SPP Shares when applied to your Parcel, the number of SPP Shares you

will be allocated will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of SPP Shares.

(c) In the event of a scaleback, the difference in value between the Application payment, and the number

of SPP Shares allocated to you multiplied by the Issue Price, will be refunded to you, without interest, by

direct deposit (to your nominated account as recorded on the Register) or by cheque, without interest, as

soon as practicable following the Issue Date.

8. Costs of Participation in the SPP

No brokerage or transaction costs will be payable by Eligible Shareholders in respect of the application for,

and the issue of, SPP Shares.

9. New Zealand

The SPP Shares are not being offered or sold to the public within New Zealand other than to registered

holders of Shares at the Record Date (7.00pm (Sydney time) on 1 November 2019), and shown on the

register to have addresses in New Zealand to whom the offer of SPP Shares is being made in reliance on

and pursuant to the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and the Financial Markets Conduct (Incidental

Offers) Exemption Notice 2016. This SPP Booklet has not been registered, filed with or approved by any

New Zealand regulatory authority. This document is not a product disclosure statement under New Zealand

law and is not required to, and does not, contain all the information that a product disclosure statement is

required to contain under New Zealand law.

Application payments must be made in Australian dollars.

10. Westpac Determination Final

Westpac may determine in any manner it thinks fit, any difficulties, anomalies or disputes that may arise in

connection with or by reason of the operation of the SPP and the decision of Westpac will be conclusive and

binding on all participants and other persons to whom the determination relates.

11. Waiver, Amendment, Suspension and Withdrawal

Westpac may, at its absolute discretion, waive compliance with any provision of these SPP Terms and

Conditions (including by accepting late Applications, either generally or in particular cases), amend or vary

these SPP Terms and Conditions (including by changing the timetable for the SPP, such as the Closing Date

and Issue Date), or suspend or withdraw the SPP Offer at any time. Any such waiver, amendment, variation,

suspension or withdrawal will be binding on all Eligible Shareholders even where Westpac does not notify

you of the event.

12. No Underwriting

The SPP will not be underwritten.

13. Governing Law

These SPP Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws in force in New South Wales.

14. Privacy Policy

(a) By completing and submitting an Application Form you acknowledge that you have read this SPP

Booklet and the SPP Terms and Conditions.

(b) Westpac is required to collect certain information about shareholders under company and tax law.

Applicants will be asked to provide personal information to Westpac (directly or via its agents, including

the Registrar).

(c) You acknowledge that the personal information submitted as part of the Application Form or other

forms and otherwise provided to Westpac (directly or via its agents, including the Registrar) will be

collected, used and disclosed by Westpac (and its agents, including the Registrar) in order to process

your Application, service your needs as a shareholder, provide facilities and services that you request,

carry out appropriate administration, send you information about the products and services of members

of the Westpac Group, including future offers of securities and as otherwise required or authorised by law

(including, without limitation, any law relating to taxation, money laundering or counter-terrorism). Such

disclosure may include disclosure to third parties including other members of the Westpac Group and to

Westpac’s agents, service providers, auditors and advisers. Such disclosure may also include disclosure

to domestic and overseas regulators or other government agencies (including ASIC and the ATO), stock

exchanges, and the public by way of public registers maintained by regulators or other bodies. Some

of these recipients may be located outside Australia (including in New Zealand) where your personal

information may not receive the same level of protection as afforded under Australian law.

(d) You acknowledge that if you do not provide the personal information required by the Application Form

or other forms, it might not be possible to process your Application, administer your shareholding and/

or send you information about the products and services of members of the Westpac Group, including

future offers of securities.

(e) If you do not wish to receive information about the products and services of members of the Westpac

Group, including future offers of securities, please contact Westpac’s SPP Information Line (see details

in the Corporate Directory at the back of this SPP Booklet) and request that Westpac does not send you

marketing material.

(f) Westpac’s privacy policy is available on Westpac’s website at www.westpac.com.au/privacy and contains

information about how you may access and seek correction of the personal information that Westpac

holds about you, how you may complain about a breach of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) by Westpac and

how Westpac will deal with such a complaint.

15. Taxation

Eligible Shareholders should consult their own taxation advisor about the tax status of their investment in

the Shares.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATC A”) withholding and reporting

In order to comply with FATCA, Westpac (or, if Shares are held through another financial institution, such

other financial institution) may be required (pursuant to an agreement with the United States or under

applicable law including pursuant to the terms of an applicable intergovernmental agreement entered

into between the United States and any other jurisdiction) (i) to request certain information from holders

or beneficial owners of Shares, which information may be provided to the US Internal Revenue Service

(“IRS”), and (ii) to withhold tax on any portion of payments with respect to Shares treated as a 'foreign

passthru payment' made two years after the date on which the final regulation that defines 'foreign passthru

payment' is published if such information is not provided or if payments are made to certain foreign financial

institutions that have not entered into a similar agreement with the United States (and are not otherwise

required to comply with the FATCA regime under applicable law including pursuant to the terms of an

applicable intergovernmental agreement entered into between the United States and any other jurisdiction).

If Westpac or any other person is required to withhold amounts under or in connection with FATCA from

any payments made with respect to Shares, holders and beneficial owners of Shares will not be entitled to

receive any gross up or additional amounts to compensate them for such withholdings. FATCA is complex

and its application to the Shares remains uncertain. Eligible Shareholders are advised to consult their own

tax advisers about the application of FATCA to the Shares.

This information is based on guidance issued by the IRS or other relevant tax authority as at the date of this

SPP Booklet. Future guidance may affect the application of FATCA to Westpac, shareholders or beneficial

owners of Shares.
