Gender Equity Committee

The FSU Gender Equity Committee is made up of workers who are committed to ensuring the finance industry provides opportunities for all workers to succeed, notwithstanding their gender. 

While we highlight the structural inequities that mean we have one of the highest gender pay gaps in Australia, we also work to challenge the cultural norms that play out in our workplaces. 

We are working and lobbying hard to ensure our workplaces have gender neutral paid parental leave schemes that recognise the importance of shared caring responsibilities and are building systems that open up flexible work opportunities to a broader range of workers. 

We understand that gender equity means better outcomes and opportunities for our whole community.  

If you would like to join the the committee please send an email to [email protected] and we'll get in touch.

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.
