Join the FNWA
All proceeds from FNWA membership go towards our campaigns toward an Indigenous Voice to Parliament and rights for First Nations workers.
The Alliance is a culturally safe place for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander workers wanting to learn about unions and who want to join their industry union. All union members can join the Alliance. If you’re not yet a member of a union, now is the best time to join.
The First Nations Workers Alliance was founded in response to the racist and punitive Community Development Program (CDP) in 2017.
Established by the Australian Council of Trade Unions, the FNWA provides a voice to CDP workers, listens to their concerns, and calls for Wage Justice. The FNWA operates like a union for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander workers who do not have access to a union or are not considered workers due to falling under the social security act.
