Under the U.S.$30 billion nab Covered Bond Programme (the Programme) established by National Australia Bank Limited (ABN 12

leading bank selected by the Issuer on the relevant date of the agreement (or the preceding day on which commercial banks and foreign
exchange markets are open for business in London) to issue between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer(s) (as defined below)), subject

exchange(s) or regulated or unregulated markets as may be agreed between the Issuer, the Covered Bond Guarantor, the Bond Trustee
(as defined in General Description of the Programme) and the relevant Dealer(s). The Issuer may also issue unlisted Covered Bonds
and/or Covered Bonds not admitted to trading on any regulated or unregulated market. Perpetual Corporate Trust Limited and P.T.
Limited (in its capacity as trustee of the Security Trust, the Security Trustee) have not made or authorised the application to admit
Covered Bonds issued under the Programme to the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or to admit the Covered Bonds to

The Covered Bonds and the Covered Bond Guarantee (as defined in the Glossary) have not been and will not be registered under the
U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), or with any securities regulatory authority of any state or other
jurisdiction of the United States. Unless they are so registered, the Covered Bonds may be offered only transactions that are exempt
from, or not subject to registration under, the Securities Act and any applicable securities laws of any other jurisdiction of the United
States. Accordingly, the Covered Bonds may be offered only (1) to qualified institutional buyers (each, a QIB) in reliance on Rule
144A under the Securities Act (Rule 144A) and (2) outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S under
the Securities Act (Regulation S). Prospective purchasers of Covered Bonds are hereby notified that the seller of the Covered Bonds
may be relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A. See "Form of the
Covered Bonds" for a description of the manner in which Covered Bonds will be issued. Covered Bonds are subject to certain
restrictions on transfer, see "Subscription and Sale and Transfer and Selling Restrictions".
The Issuer and the Covered Bond Guarantor may agree with any Dealer and the Bond Trustee that Covered Bonds may be issued in a
form not contemplated by the Conditions of the Covered Bonds herein, in which event (in the case of Covered Bonds admitted to the
Official List only) a supplementary prospectus to the Prospectus, if appropriate, will be made available which will describe the effect
of the agreement reached in relation to such Covered Bonds.
The Covered Bonds issued under the Programme are expected on issue to be assigned an "Aaa" credit rating by Moody's Investors
Service Pty Ltd (Moody's) and an "AAA" credit rating by Fitch Australia Pty Ltd (Fitch and, together with Moody's, the Rating
Agencies). The credit rating of certain Series or Tranches of Covered Bonds to be issued under the Programme may be specified in
the Applicable Final Terms. Neither of the Rating Agencies is established in the European Union (the EU) or in the United Kingdom
(the UK) and neither of the Rating Agencies has applied for registration under Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009 (as amended) (the CRA
Regulation) or under Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009 (as amended) as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union
(Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the EUWA) (the UK CRA Regulation). The ratings of Moody's and Fitch have been endorsed by Moody's
Deutschland GmbH (Moody's Europe) and Fitch Ratings Ireland Limited (Fitch Europe) respectively in accordance with the CRA
Regulation for use in the EEA. Each of Moody's Europe and Fitch Europe is established in the EEA and registered under the CRA
Regulation. As such each of Moody's Europe and Fitch Europe is included in the list of credit rating agencies published by the European
Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on its website (at https://www.esma.europa.eu/supervision/credit-rating-agencies/risk) in
accordance with the CRA Regulation. The ESMA has indicated that ratings issued in Australia, which have been endorsed by Moody's
Europe or Fitch Europe may be used in the EEA by the relevant market participants. The ratings of Moody's and Fitch have been
endorsed by Moody's Investors Service Ltd (Moody's UK) and Fitch Ratings Limited (Fitch UK) respectively in accordance with the
UK CRA Regulation for use in the UK. Each of Moody's UK and Fitch UK is established in the UK and registered under the UK CRA
Regulation. There can be no assurance that such endorsement of the credit ratings of Moody's and Fitch will continue. Please also
refer to "Credit ratings assigned to the Covered Bonds may change and may not reflect all risks associated with an investment in the
Covered Bonds" in the "Risk Factors" section of this Prospectus. A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities
and may be subject to revision, suspension or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organisation.
The Covered Bond Guarantor is not a "covered fund" for purposes of Section 619 of the U.S. Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act (such statutory provision together with such implementing regulations are also referred to collectively as the
Volcker Rule). The Covered Bond Guarantor will be relying on an exclusion or exemption from the definition of "investment
company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the Investment Company Act), contained in Section 3(c)(5)(C)
of the Investment Company Act, although there may be additional exclusions or exemptions available to the Covered Bond Guarantor
under the Investment Company Act or the Volcker Rule.

appraisal of the creditworthiness, of the Issuer and/or the Covered Bond Guarantor. Neither this
Prospectus nor any other information supplied in connection with the Programme or the issue of any
Covered Bonds constitutes an offer or invitation by or on behalf of any party to the Programme
Documents to any person to subscribe for or to purchase any Covered Bonds.
Neither the delivery of this Prospectus nor the offering, sale or delivery of any Covered Bonds will in
any circumstances imply that the information contained in it concerning the Issuer and/or the Covered
Bond Guarantor is correct at any time subsequent to its date or that any other information supplied in
connection with the Programme is correct as of any time subsequent to the date indicated in the
document containing the same. All parties to the Programme Documents (other than the Issuer and the

any applicable registration or other requirements in any such jurisdiction, or pursuant to an exemption
available thereunder, or assume any responsibility for facilitating any such distribution or offering. In

public offering of any Covered Bonds or distribution of this Prospectus in any jurisdiction where action
for that purpose is required. Accordingly, no Covered Bonds may be offered or sold, directly or

reference to that law or provision as extended, amended or re-enacted.

NOTICE TO U.S. INVESTORS
This Prospectus is being provided on a confidential basis in the United States to a limited number of "qualified
institutional buyers" within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act (QIBs) in connection with the
consideration of the purchase of the Covered Bonds being offered hereby. Its use for any other purpose in the
United States is not authorised. It may not be copied or reproduced in whole or in part nor may it be distributed
or any of its contents disclosed to anyone other than the prospective investors to whom it is originally
submitted.
Registered Covered Bonds may be offered or sold within the United States only to QIBs in transactions exempt
from registration under the Securities Act. Each U.S. purchaser of Registered Covered Bonds is hereby notified
that the offer and sale of any Registered Covered Bonds to it may be made in reliance upon the exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
Each purchaser or holder of Covered Bonds represented by a Rule 144A Global Covered Bond (as defined
under "Form of the Covered Bonds") or any Covered Bonds issued in registered form in exchange or
substitution therefore (together Legended Covered Bonds) will be deemed, by its acceptance or purchase of
any such Legended Covered Bonds, to have made certain representations and agreements intended to restrict
the resale or other transfer of such Covered Bonds as set out in "Subscription and Sale and Transfer and Selling
Restrictions". Unless otherwise stated, terms used in this paragraph have the meanings given to them in "Form
of the Covered Bonds".
Offers and sales of the Covered Bonds in the United States will be made by those Dealer(s) or their affiliates
that are registered broker-dealers under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
Exchange Act), or in accordance with Rule 15a-6 thereunder.
AVAILABLE INFORMATION
To permit compliance with Rule 144A in connection with any resales or other transfers of Covered Bonds that
are "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, each of the Issuer and/or the
Covered Bond Guarantor, as applicable, has undertaken in the Bond Trust Deed to furnish, upon the request
of a holder of such Covered Bonds or any beneficial interest therein, to such holder or to a prospective
purchaser designated by him, the information required to be delivered under Rule 144A(d)(4) under the
Securities Act if, at the time of the request, the Issuer and/or the Covered Bond Guarantor, as applicable, is
neither subject to reporting under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, nor exempt from reporting pursuant
to Rule 12g3-2(b) thereunder.
By requesting copies of any of the documents referred to herein, each potential purchaser of Covered Bonds
agrees to keep confidential the various documents and all written information clearly labelled "Confidential"
which from time to time have been or will be disclosed to it concerning the Covered Bond Guarantor or the
Issuer or any of their affiliates, and agrees not to disclose any portion of the same to any person except in
connection with the proposed resale of the Covered Bonds or as required by law.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Prospectus includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in
this Prospectus, including, without limitation, those regarding the Issuer's financial position, business strategy,
plans, targets, intentions and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements.
Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which
may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Issuer, or industry results, to be materially
different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions regarding the present and

0083121-0000472 SYO1: 2001577860.23
6

future business strategies of the Issuer and the environment in which it will operate in the future. These
forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Prospectus.
Projections are necessarily speculative in nature, and some or all of the assumptions underlying the projections
and other forward-looking statements may not materialise or may vary significantly from actual results.
Consequently, future results may differ from the Issuer's expectations due to a variety of factors, including (but
not limited to) the economic environment in Australia. Moreover, past financial performance should not be
considered a reliable indicator of future performance and prospective purchasers of the Covered Bonds are
cautioned that any such statements are not guarantees of performance and involve risks and uncertainties, many
of which are beyond the control of the Issuer and/or the Covered Bond Guarantor. The Issuer does not
undertake any obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions to these forward-looking statements to
reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Neither
the Co-Arrangers nor the Dealers have attempted to verify any such statements, nor do they make any
representations, express or implied, with respect to such statements.
None of the Co-Arrangers, the Dealers, the Issuer, the Covered Bond Guarantor, the Security Trustee, the Bond
Trustee nor any other party to a Programme Document has any obligation to update or otherwise revise any
projections, including any revisions to reflect changes in economic conditions or other circumstances arising
after the date of this Prospectus or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, even if the underlying
assumptions do not come to fruition.
SERVICE OF PROCESS AND ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
The Issuer is a public limited company incorporated in Australia and the Covered Bond Guarantor is a trustee
of a trust established in New South Wales. All of the officers and directors named herein reside outside the
United States and a substantial portion of the assets of the Issuer, the Covered Bond Guarantor and of such
officers and directors are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to
effect service of process outside Australia upon the Issuer, the Covered Bond Guarantor or any such persons,
or to enforce judgments against them obtained in courts outside Australia predicated upon civil liabilities of
the Issuer, the Covered Bond Guarantor or such directors and officers, including any judgment predicated upon
United States federal securities laws. There is a doubt as to the enforceability in Australia in original actions
or in actions for the enforcement of judgments of United States courts of civil liabilities predicated solely upon
the federal securities laws of the United States.
PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND OPERATING INFORMATION
Unless otherwise indicated, the financial information incorporated by reference into this Prospectus has been
prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The Issuer maintains its
financial books and records and prepares its financial statements in Australian Dollars in accordance with the
requirements of the Corporations Act, accounting standards and interpretations issued by the Australian
Accounting Standards Board which differ in certain respects from generally accepted accounting principles in
the United States (U.S. GAAP).
CAPITALISED TERMS
Capitalised terms used in this Prospectus, unless otherwise indicated, have the meaning set out in this
Prospectus. A glossary of defined terms appears at the back of this Prospectus (see "Glossary").
COVERED BONDS MAY NOT BE A SUITABLE INVESTMENT FOR ALL INVESTORS
Each potential investor in the Covered Bonds must determine the suitability of its investment in light of its
own circumstances. In particular, each potential investor should:

0083121-0000472 SYO1: 2001577860.23
7

have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the Covered Bonds, the
merits and risks of investing in the Covered Bonds and the information contained or incorporated by
reference in this Prospectus or any applicable supplement;

have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its
particular financial situation, an investment in the Covered Bonds and the impact the Covered Bonds
will have on its overall investment portfolio;

have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the Covered
Bonds, including Covered Bonds with principal or interest payable in one or more currencies, or where
the currency for principal or interest payments is different from the potential investor's currency;

understand thoroughly the terms of the Covered Bonds and be familiar with the behaviour of any
relevant indices and financial markets; and

be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial adviser) possible scenarios for economic,
interest rate and other factors that may affect its investment and its ability to bear the applicable risks.
Covered Bonds are complex financial instruments. Sophisticated institutional investors generally do not
purchase complex financial instruments as stand-alone investments. They may purchase complex financial
instruments as a way to reduce risk or enhance yield with an understood, measured, appropriate addition of
risk to their overall portfolios. A potential investor should not invest in Covered Bonds which are complex
financial instruments unless it has the expertise (either alone or with a financial adviser) to evaluate how the
Covered Bonds will perform under changing conditions, the resulting effects on the value of the Covered
Bonds and the impact this investment will have on the potential investor's overall investment portfolio.
The investment activities of certain investors are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, or review
or regulation by certain authorities. Each potential investor should consult its legal advisers to determine
whether and to what extent (1) Covered Bonds are legal investments for it, (2) Covered Bonds can be used as
collateral for various types of borrowing, (3) Covered Bonds can be used as repo-eligible securities and
(4) other restrictions apply to its purchase or pledge of any Covered Bonds. Financial institutions should
consult their legal advisers or the appropriate regulators to determine the appropriate treatment of Covered
Bonds under any applicable risk-based capital or similar rules.
The Covered Bonds will not represent an obligation or be the responsibility of any of the Co-Arrangers, the
Dealers, the Bond Trustee, the Security Trustee, any member of the nab Group (other than the Issuer in its
capacity as Issuer under the Programme Documents) or any other party to the Programme, their officers,
members, directors, employees, security holders or incorporators, other than the Issuer and the Covered Bond
Guarantor. The Issuer will be liable solely in its corporate capacity for its obligations in respect of the Covered
Bonds. The Covered Bond Guarantor will be liable solely in its capacity as trustee of the Trust for its
obligations in respect of the Covered Bond Guarantee. In both cases such obligations will not be the
obligations of their respective officers, members, directors, employees, security holders or incorporators.
MIFID II PRODUCT GOVERNANCE/TARGET MARKET
The Final Terms in respect of any Covered Bonds may include a legend entitled "MiFID II Product
Governance" which will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Covered Bonds and which
channels for distribution of the Covered Bonds are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or
recommending the Covered Bonds (a distributor) should take into consideration the target market assessment;
however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in
respect of the Covered Bonds (by either adopting or refining the target market assessment) and determining
appropriate distribution channels.

A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the Product
Governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the MiFID Product Governance Rules), any
Dealer subscribing for any Covered Bonds is a manufacturer in respect of such Covered Bonds, but otherwise
neither the Co-Arrangers nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for the
purpose of the MiFID Product Governance Rules.
UK MIFIR PRODUCT GOVERNANCE/TARGET MARKET
The Final Terms in respect of any Covered Bonds may include a legend entitled "UK MiFIR product
governance" which will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Covered Bonds and which
channels for distribution of the Covered Bonds are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or
recommending the Covered Bonds (a UK distributor) should take into consideration the target market
assessment; however, a UK distributor subject to the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product
Governance Sourcebook (the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules) is responsible for undertaking its own
target market assessment in respect of the Covered Bonds (by either adopting or refining the target market
assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the UK MiFIR Product
Governance Rules, any Dealer subscribing for any Covered Bonds is a manufacturer in respect of such Covered
Bonds, but otherwise neither the Co-Arrangers nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a
manufacturer for the purpose of the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules.
IMPORTANT EEA RETAIL INVESTORS
If the Final Terms in respect of any Covered Bonds include a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA
Retail Investors", the Covered Bonds are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and
should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the EEA. For these purposes,
a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article
4(1) of MiFID II; (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (the Insurance Distribution
Directive), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article
4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation. Consequently, no
key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the PRIIPs Regulation)
for offering or selling the Covered Bonds or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA
has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Covered Bonds or otherwise making them available to
any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
IMPORTANT UK RETAIL INVESTORS
If the Final Terms in respect of any Covered Bonds includes a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to UK
Retail Investors", the Covered Bonds are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and
should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the UK. For these purposes, a
retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of
Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; or (ii) a customer
within the meaning of the provisions of the FSMA and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to
implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined
in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the
EUWA; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of the UK Prospectus Regulation. Consequently,
no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by
virtue of the EUWA (the UK PRIIPs Regulation) for offering or selling the Covered Bonds or otherwise
making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the
Covered Bonds or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under
the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
