Our movement is built by millions of workers with different experiences, backgrounds and aspirations. What unites us is the belief that together we can make life better for working people. That’s why unions matter: because when workers stand together, we can achieve collectively what none of us could achieve alone.

Support when you need it
Be sure you stay in control if things go wrong at work. As a union member you know that you’re protected with the best employment legal advice, as well as support and info on workplace rights.
Higher wages, reliable work
Unions campaign for higher wages for everyone, but workers who are a member of their union earn $251 more per week, than workers who are not union members, according to the ABS.
Better work and society for all
So many of the basic rights that workers and all Australians receive is due to hard-won campaigns by union members: Medicare, JobKeeper, annual leave, paid parental leave and more!

Join the almost two million workers coming together to change work and society for the better. Together we can take action to drive real change. That means better wages, the workplace conditions you deserve and support standing by if anything goes wrong.
