Best Answer

It is not a law that you must have a bank account in Australia, but more and more employers are taking the option of electronic banking to pay employees and more businesses are using direct debit facilities for payment of accounts, and many Government departments are using electronic banking facilities to pay allowances, pensions and refunds, etc.

It is becoming more difficult to live and work in Australia without a bank account of some type.
