First Nations Finance Workers

Our union stands in solidarity with First Nations peoples and invites all members to join us in this movement for change.

Welcome to the FSU First Nations Finance Workers Committee, a dedicated and passionate group of members committed to supporting First Nations workers and amplifying their voices. We are proud to introduce our committee members April Cook, Caine Hanshaw, Rina Abbott-Jard, James Channon, Tegan Walsh-Jones, Lisa Hunter, Adam Fletcher, and Pamela Anderson, who have taken on the responsibility of guiding our activities and ensuring the representation of First Nations perspectives within our union.

As strong advocates for change, our committee was at the forefront of FSU’s support for the Voice to Parliament YES Campaign. Through their leadership, we aim to empower and uplift First Nations communities, promote awareness, and foster positive change.

On the 2023 Voice to Parliament referendum

Social change is often a journey with many steps, some forward and some back. Every effort made during the referendum, every conversation we had, and the passion we shared has planted seeds that will continue to grow in various ways. We remain committed to championing the rights, recognition, and voices of First Nations Australians.

The FSU First Nations Finance Workers Committee will continue to explore avenues and initiatives that further these objectives, and fight to ensure that our First Nations members are not left behind and have a platform for meaningful participation in our union

We support the Uluru Statement from the Heart

At the 2023 FSU National Congress, our First Nations Finance Workers Committee and Delegates were proud to endorse a resolution in support of the Uluru Statement from the Heart.

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.
