+++++++++++++++++++++++++
In its half-year profit announcement on 1 May 2000, ANZ announced
that the Directors proposed an interim dividend of 29 cents be paid
on ordinary shares. This dividend, which is fully franked at 34%, has
been declared and will be payable on 3 July 2000 to holders of fully
paid ordinary shares registered in the books of the Company at the
close of business on 26 May 2000.

Shareholders participating in the Company's Bonus Option Plan have
elected to receive bonus shares instead of part or all of the 2000
interim dividend. Shareholders participating in the Dividend
Reinvestment Plan will have their 2000 interim dividend applied to
purchase additional shares. The issue price for shares allotted under
both these plans is AUD11.62.

Dividends payable to shareholders on the New Zealand branch register
and to shareholders resident in the United Kingdom will be converted
to local currency at the market rate on 26 May 2000.
