Laboratories Credit Union

LCU was started in 1954 by eight CSIRO staff in NSW with a large proportion of its current membership base having linkages to CSIRO. LCU membership now extends beyond CSIRO current and former staff and their families and they welcome membership from affiliated companies and organisations around Australia.

Scholarship Scheme
