Training, conferences & events

The AEU has a strong commitment to meeting the industrial and professional training needs of members through conferences, courses, workshops and forums held around the state, including at your school or workplace.

We cater for all of our members, from graduate teachers to principals, ES staff, early childhood to TAFE staff, and groups such as health and safety reps and women members.

AEU training covers everything from consultation to contract employment, understanding your agreement to legal liability and better understanding your rights, to finding a new job and new education policy developments.

Our training officers are Kim Daly and Rowena Matcott. Administrative support is provided by Rhonda Webley(03) 9418 4844.
