About you

We're a tight-knit union representing academic and general staff in higher education across ACT universities and beyond. We've been making waves lately, scoring some big wins in Enterprise Agreements at top-notch institutions like ANU, University of Canberra, UNSW, and ACU.

You'd be sitting at the table with higher education leaders, tackling individual and collective issues head-on.
