Organising and Representing our Members

There are approximately 200 officers, organisers and administrative support staff employed across the federal union and its state offices to ensure that the industrial and professional interests of its members are protected and advanced.

They have a deep knowledge and understanding of the work of teachers and education support staff, of the culture and climate of the school context, of the complexity of the teaching and learning process and of the complex and dynamic nature of the relationships which exist at all levels with a school - between teachers, students, parents, the school's leadership and employing authority and with the broader community.

This ensures the IEU has substantial authority and expertise in its roles of industrial and professional representation, dispute resolution, award and agreement negotiation, policy research and development and lobbying.

Some branches have been able to commit resources to the establishment of union offices or focused technology strategies in regional communities (Townsville, Bundaberg, Newcastle, Canberra, Lismore, Ballarat/Bendigo, Devonport) in order to provide better servicing and organising of schools and greater accessibility to the IEU for members.

For specific information about how the union supports your work and about the services it can offer, contact the IEU Office in your State or Territory.
