As a result of negotiations over the last few months, Westpac Group employees now have a Westpac Group Enterprise Agreement (EA) proposal that will provide competitive pay and improvements to conditions.
In light of recent consultation meetings with FSU members and improvements won in the overall package, our FSU National Westpac Committee of Reps has agreed we are now in a position to recommend this proposal to members.
Together, union members have significantly shifted Westpac from their original below market pay offer and delivered a number of improvements to conditions. Importantly, all existing entitlements have been protected in this new proposal with no loss of conditions.
At the last meeting, Westpac management agreed to a final improvement introducing a new Joint Consultative Committee between Westpac and FSU representatives to provide opportunities for feedback and engage in discussions about artificial intelligence and the future of work for employees.
You can find a summary here.
Over the next month or so, Westpac intends to put this proposal to a ballot of workers covered by the EA. FSU information sessions will be held in the lead-up to the ballot to ensure members are fully informed about what is on offer.

This result shows that when we stand together, we build better workplaces. This EA is just the start – much more can be achieved at Westpac with strong, active union members. This means today is the best time to join if you’re not already a member or to ask a colleague to join!
