We said yes! Westpac members win improvements to our new EA

Westpac staff have voted in favour of our new Westpac Enterprise Agreement (EA), with an overwhelming 87% voting Yes.

Congratulations to every FSU member for achieving real improvements to our work conditions. This result was only possible because we stood together. 

Together, we have significantly improved pay at Westpac and delivered several key improvements to conditions.

These include: 

  • A pay increase of 12.5% for tier 1 and 9% for tier 2 colleagues over three years. 
  • Cultural, lifestyle and wellbeing days increased from two to four days per year.  
  • Compassionate leave increased from three to five days per occasion. 
  • New five days family pathways leave to support employees in attending appointments related to fertility treatment, surrogacy, adoption and foster care.

 

Next steps 

The Agreement will now be submitted to the Fair Work Commission for final approval. Once approved, our EA will commence.

These improvements demonstrate what we can achieve when we work together and ensure our voices are heard!

To continue securing positive outcomes in the future, we must keep our union strong and active across Westpac – if you’re not yet an FSU member, now is the time to join!

If you’re already a member, encourage a colleague to join the team that’s winning for you today.
