Bank Account for New Born with Infrequent Deposits

A friend of mine has just become a grandfather. He thinks he'd like to start out a modest bank account for the baby. He anticipates that future cash gifts from others will be deposited over the years. As there will be no regular deposits assured, does anyone know a bank in WA that has no fee savings accounts? He's currently in hospital and is not using the internet, so I'd like to help a little with the leg work.

    Freedom to use the account

    Earn the same high rates of interest no matter how many deposits or withdrawals are made each month.

    Your child’s savings won’t be reduced with monthly account fees or fees to transfer money online.
