Structure of the Union

The Independent Education Union of Australia is structured in a way to ensure that the industrial and professional needs of our members are best served. There are seven branches, generally reflecting the state and territory boundaries - these are QLD/NT, NSW/ACT, VIC, TAS (Catholic), TAS (Independent), SA and WA.  To gain a better insight into structure of these branches, refer to the IEU branch websites.

The Independent Education Union of Australia has a Federal Council and Federal Executive, elected every 3 years in accord with the Rules of the organisation. 

The Federal Council is the supreme governing body of the Union and in accordance with the Rules, meets at least once per year.

The Federal Executive meets 4 times per year and subject to decisions of the Federal Council, exercises all of the functions and powers of the Federal Council other than those set out in the organisation's Rules.
