VOTE NO to MAIB's proposed Agreement! 

MAIB employees recently voted down management's first offer for our new Enterprise Agreement because it failed to address our concerns around pay and work flexibility. Now, MAIB is trying to push through the same offer for a second time – but that's not how this works.

The Finance Sector Union is urging all MAIB employees to vote no to the current offer again so we don’t sell ourselves short and lock ourselves into a deal that leaves our wages falling behind inflation and market rates.

Vote no in the ballot from Tuesday 21 – Wednesday 22 July.

Here’s where we think MAIB could do better:

  • The pay rises are simply not good enough and will leave us falling further behind. Over the last three years, our pay has fallen behind market rates (with a significant portion of the MAIB workforce leaving for better-paid jobs as a result). Meanwhile, inflation in Tasmania has hovered between 4 – 5%.

  • Management is refusing to commit to a CPI clause, which would safeguard our income over the next four years. Meanwhile, MAIB is paying CPI increases to their providers, including doctors, physiotherapists and occupational therapists.

  • The current flexibility policy only permits one day per week to work from home.

  • Clause for individual flexibility arrangements does not cover where work is performed, making it ineffective for obtaining additional WFH arrangements.

  • No provisions for ad-hoc flexibility requests – staff who require one-off accommodations are expected to apply for an ongoing arrangement.

  • Paid parental leave falls well short of industry standard of 16 weeks, with no distinction between primary and secondary carer.

Can MAIB afford to pay employees more?

Yes! Here are some quick facts:

  • In 2024/25, MAIB posted a profit of $83.4 million after tax.
  • As of June 2025, MAIB held $2.6 billion in investments.
  • MAIB CEO Paul Kingston's total pay for 2025 was $387,000.

Our plan to secure a fair deal:

MAIB can afford to support their employees in the same way they support their customers and providers.

If a majority of MAIB employees vote no to the current offer, negotiations will continue between MAIB and the FSU, which will be facilitated by the Fair Work Commission.

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.
