The Federated Moulders' (Metals) Union of Australia was formed through the federation of several state unions in 1899 as the Federated Iron Brass & Steel Moulders' Union of Australasia. It was federally registered in 1916 as the Federated Moulders' (Metals) Union of Australasia and in 1930 changed its name slightly to the Federated Moulders' (Metals) Union of Australia. The Union operated until 1983 when it amalgamated with the Amalgamated Metal Workers' and Shipwrights' Union to form the Amalgamated Metals Foundry & Shipwrights' Union.
