We are one of the largest and most diverse unions in Australia with 130,000 members.

Through the Australian Services Union, workers draw on their collective strength to deliver better pay, conditions and services that help you get ahead, or manage the tough times.

Our union sets its ambitions very high, in terms of what we can achieve for our members & the wider community. We have an innovative and creative approach and we take on issues that matter to members no matter how big or small.

We make sure members have service options that recognise all members are unique. Some people want help with professional development; others value discounts on goods & services that take pressure off the budget; others join to ensure they get the best possible pay and conditions for their industry; and some people just want the assurance that if something goes wrong at work, they’ll get the advice & representation they need.

Everyone’s different but we’re here for all our members, every step of your working life.

Young people are all too used to being told that it's normal for work to be unsafe, and that customer abuse, crazy hours and no breaks are to be expected.

Whether you're just starting out in your first job or you're concerned about a family member's working conditions the Young Workers Centre can help.

Every worker has the right to be safe at work.

Ingrid Stitt MP

In a social experiment, WorkSafe invited a group of young people to a series of 'industry information sessions' and outlined some of the unsafe conditions they could face in the workplace. Sadly, 91% said that they would work in unsafe conditions – meaning they were willing to accept customer abuse, crazy hours and no breaks. Unsafe is always unacceptable. Young workers have the right to feel safe at work, and employers have a responsibility to create a safe working environment. The “Unsafe is Always Unacceptable” campaign reinforces this message and reminds employers that they have a responsibility to protect young workers, and create physically and mentally safe workplaces.

Frontline workers are being left in the dark on when they will be vaccinated.

Australian workers are relying on the vaccine rollout to keep them safe and protect their jobs. We deserve clarity and transparency on the vaccine rollout.

Scott Morrison has abandoned the Government’s timeline for COVID vaccinations which has thrown more uncertainty as to when international travel can resume. The Government must act and support workers in aviation and travel and bring in AviationKeeper.
