Component #4

A Century-Long Legacy
We trace our historical roots trace back to the establishment of the United Bank Officers Association of Queensland on September 4, 1919. This deep-rooted legacy highlights a century-long commitment to the representation and empowerment of finance sector professionals.
Adapting to a Changing Finance Landscape
Over the past few decades, Australia’s finance landscape has witnessed substantial transformation. Adapting to these shifts, employee unions within the sector united, leading to the formation of the FSU.
The Birth of the FSU
This unification process started in earnest in July 1991. This marked a pivotal moment when the two dominant unions in banking and insurance — the Australian Bank Employees’ Union (ABEU) and the Australian Insurance Employees’ Union (AIEU) — decided to come together, forming the FSU.
Strengthening Our Union
Further strengthening our union’s reach, three more entities joined the FSU fold: the AMP Society Staff Association, Trustee Companies Officers’ Association, and the Wool Brokers’ Staff Association. By March 1994, the collective spirit of the FSU was bolstered as the Commonwealth Bank Officers’ Selection (CBOS) also joined our ranks.
A Modern Union with a Proud History
With an unwavering commitment to members at our core, the FSU continues to deliver information, guidance, and personalised support across individual, workplace, and industry fronts. Registered with the Fair Work Commission and affiliated with the Australian Council of Trade Unions, the FSU stands tall with dedicated offices in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth.
We invite you to be a part of our rich legacy as we continue to champion the rights and interests of finance sector professionals across Australia.

Component #5

WFH works, so hands off, NAB!

NAB wants to push staff back into the office three days a week — but we know flexible work works.


Working from home delivers for the bank and employees. NAB’s $7.1 billion profit proves productivity isn’t the issue. What’s really at stake is our time, our money, and our work-life balance. Every extra day in the office means more hours lost commuting and more money spent on travel.

We’ve proven we can do the job from home. It’s time NAB listened.

Smashing the gender pay gap

The finance and insurance industry has one of the biggest gender pay gaps in Australia.


The average base pay gap is 19.2%, and the total gap blows out to 22.2% — well above the national average of 16.7%. Yet many employers boast titles like ‘employer of choice for gender equality’ and CEOs parade as ‘male champions of change’.


If the industry is so committed to equality, why is the gap still so wide?

How we can help ?

I’m in! What’s the plan?

If AMP isn’t going to come to the table to negotiate our conditions with us, then we’ll need to force them.

And we will do that by securing a majority support determination (MSD). That sounds complicated, but all it means is that a majority of people working at AMP (or in a particular business area of AMP) vote to say they want to bargain – then AMP is legally obligated to negotiate. Of course, there are some legal hoops we need to jump through, but right now the most important thing you can do is click here to join us.

Now is the time to get as many of our colleagues involved and engaged in our campaign as possible.
