Schools

Justin Mullaly and Carolyn ClancyThe AEU is the union for all who work in government schools — teachers, education support staff and school leaders. It supports you professionally and industrially and campaigns for public education and social justice.

Members in schools are represented by four elected officers: Justin Mullaly (vice president, secondary), Carolyn Clancy (vice president, primary), Erin Aulich (deputy vice president, secondary) and James Rankin (deputy vice president, primary). Administrative support is provided by Ann Dettenberg (secondary) and  Lee-Anne Poynton (primary). All of them can be contacted on (03) 9417 2822 or by email.

Principals, education support, graduate teachers and CRTs also have their own sections of the website.
