HOW TO COMPLETE THIS VOTING/PROXY FORM

UPDATING YOUR ADDRESS DETAILS

If your address details on the front of this form are incorrect, please mark the corrections on the form and return it so we can update your details. Shareholders sponsored by a broker should advise their broker of any changes. You cannot change ownership of your shares using this form.

DIRECT VOTING (BOX A)

If you mark Box A, you are indicating that you wish to vote directly. Please only mark either 'For' or 'Against' for each item. If you mark the ' bstain' box, your vote will not be counted.

If no direction is given on an item, or if you complete both Box and Box B, your vote will be passed to the Chairman as your proxy.

Your direct vote will be cast for all of your shares unless you indicate only a portion of your shares are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares beside the relevant item of business.

If you lodge a direct vote, and then attend the meeting, your attendance will cancel your direct vote and your votes at the meeting will be counted, unless you advise Link otherwise.

Further guidelines about direct voting are set out in Westpac's Direct Voting Rules, which are available on our website (www.westpac.com.au/investorcentre).

APPOINTING A PROXY (BOX B)

If you wish to appoint the Chairman as your proxy, mark Box B in Step 1. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chairman as your proxy, please write the name of the person, or body corporate. A proxy need not be a shareholder of Westpac Banking Corporation (Westpac).

DEFAULT TO CHAIRMAN OF THE MEETING

If you leave Box B blank, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chairman will be your proxy. If your named proxy attends the meeting but does not vote on a poll on a resolution in accordance with your directions, the Chairman will become your proxy in respect of that resolution. On a poll, the Chairman will vote proxies as directed.

VOTES ON ITEMS OF BUSINESS - PROXY APPOINTMENT

You may direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote beside the relevant item of business. If you do not mark any of the boxes on the items of business, your proxy may vote as they choose, subject to any voting exclusions that apply to your proxy. If you mark more than one box on an item, your vote on that item will be invalid.

PROXY VOTING BY KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL (KMP)

If you wish to appoint a Director (other than the Chairman) or other member of Westpac's KMP, or their closely related parties, as your proxy, you must specify

how they should vote on Items 3, 4 and 5 by marking the appropriate box. If you do not, your proxy will not be able to exercise your vote for these Items.

If the Chairman is or becomes your proxy but you do not direct him how to vote on an item (that is, you do not complete any of the boxes 'For', 'Against' or 'Abstain' opposite that item), you will be expressly authorising the Chairman to vote as he sees fit on that item.

APPOINTMENT OF A SECOND PROXY

Shareholders entitled to cast two or more votes are entitled to appoint up to two persons as proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Voting/Proxy Form may be obtained by contacting Link or you may copy this form and return them both together.

To appoint a second proxy you must:

  1. on each Voting/Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or number of shares applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded; and
  2. return both forms together.

SIGNING INSTRUCTIONS

You must sign this form as follows in the spaces provided: Individual: where the holding is in one name, the holder must sign.

Joint Holding: where the holding is in more than one name, either/any shareholder may sign.

Power of attorney: to sign under power of attorney, you must lodge the power of attorney with Link. If you have not previously lodged this document for notation, please attach a certified photocopy of the power of attorney to this form when you return it.

Companies: where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary. Please indicate the office held by signing in the appropriate place.

CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVES

If a representative of the corporation is to attend the meeting the appropriate 'Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative' should be produced prior to admission in accordance with the Notice of Meeting. A form of the certificate may be obtained from the Westpac's share registry or online at www.linkmarketservices.com.au.
