The AEU leads the way in advances for women in the workplace and has a strong and long-standing commitment to the needs and issues of women.
Our women's section runs a busy program throughout the year, including our popular International Women's Day dinner, the annual Women's Conference and the Anna Stewart Memorial Program for women unionists.
The AEU women’s officer is Barb Jennings who works Monday to Wednesday. She can be contacted by email or on (03) 9417 2822. Administrative support is provided by Gayle Bernhardt on (03) 9418 4860.
