Bendigo Community Bank EA 2024 – What’s on offer

You may have missed this important news – Bendigo has responded to our Log of Claims and we now have an updated proposed Community Bank Enterprise Agreement.

We shifted Bendigo on key elements of their original proposal, achieving many improvements members said were important. These include:

  • Pay increases – proposed wage increases aligned to the Bendigo Corporate EA, providing increases over the next three years of 5%, 3.5% and 3.5%. 
  • Pay rates – minimum pay rates aligned with those within the Bendigo Corporate EA.
  • Paid parental leave – 12 weeks paid parental leave for primary carers and 2 weeks for secondary carers.
  • Redundancy pay – introduction of a maximum 24 weeks redundancy pay (or better if already provided within an EA).
  • Improvements to leave – 12 days sick leave, introduction of one day paid lifestyle leave, improved family and domestic violence leave and improved Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leave.

The list goes on! Click here to see everything we’ve achieved from our Log of Claims.

What’s next?

We’ll meet with Bendigo HR in late January to provide our feedback on these proposals. 

We have scheduled a number of meetings for members to hear more about Bendigo’s response and discuss what these proposals mean for us. Register now for a time that suits you:
