Following our demands for more detail on ANZ’s 3500 job cuts announcement, management has confirmed where some of these cuts will occur – specifically across the Australian Retail Division.
In total, approximately 2118 roles will be affected in Retail, with 794 roles to be made redundant. Impacted employees will be required to participate in a preference and selection process.
These cuts will affect multiple areas, including:
The FSU is holding daily consultation meetings for impacted employees from today, Tuesday 16 September, until Monday 22 September (10am and 2pm each day). ANZ has agreed that employees can attend these sessions during paid time.

If you are unable to attend a session, you can still provide feedback by completing our form or replying directly to this email, and we’ll be in touch. Please also forward this email to any colleagues who may be impacted.
Under our ANZ Enterprise Agreement, management is required to:
Consultation closes Thursday 25 September, so it is critical we act quickly to ensure all our concerns are raised.
Despite multiple opportunities, ANZ has failed to provide sufficient clarity on the remaining job cuts. We view this to be a breach of the consultation provisions of our Enterprise Agreement and have now lodged a dispute in the Fair Work Commission calling on their urgent assistance.
ANZ workers already had to face a weekend not knowing if their jobs are on the line – it’s unacceptable and we’ll continue to fight for answers from management.
We recognise this is an extremely difficult time for so many ANZ employees. Our union will do everything possible to protect your rights, entitlements and wellbeing throughout this process.
