The former Bank of Australasia Headquarters is an historic bank headquarters in Renaissance Revival style located on the corner of Queen Street and Collins Street, the traditional heart of Melbourne's financial precinct, with 19th Century banks on three corners.

The design is an amalgam of two periods, the first two floors built in 1875-6 designed by noted architects Reed & Barnes,[3] with the top three floors added in matching style along with a new chamber in 1929–31, designed by A&K Henderson.[4]

The Bank of Australasia[5] merged with the Union Bank of Australia to form the Australia and New Zealand Banking Group in 1951, and the new bank sold the building in 1974.[3] Since 2013 it has been a rental apartment building known as Treasury on Collins.[6][7]

It was amongst the first buildings listed on the Victorian Heritage Register on 9 October 1974, and later on the Register of the National Estate in 1983.[8]
