When it comes to work, you are entitled to healthy and safe conditions, job security and fair pay.

Whether you’re starting a new job, returning to work, or managing an existing workplace issue, the Australian Services Union is by your side. Once a member, we protect and promote you’re the rights of workers in critical areas such as:

Pay and entitlements
Our team is dedicated to ensuring our members are paid the wages they deserve. In 2020 alone, we recovered over $13 million in unpaid wages for members. Our expert lawyers can assess whether your wage and entitlements are in line with your industry award, enterprise agreement or contract.

Job security
Throughout the pandemic, the Australian Services Union has promoted the job security of our members by negotiating fair outcomes with employers, keeping members connected to their workplaces and by stopping job cuts. In 2020 alone, the Australian Services Union stopped 12,000 members from losing their jobs. 

Health and safety
Union workplaces are safer workplaces. We’ll help you resolve any workplace safety issue   – whether it’s a physical health and safety issue or relates to stress and other mental health hazards. You should be safe at work. 

Protecting you through workplace challenges 
Workplace changes can be challenging. In 2020, the Australian Services Union supported over 10,000 members through workplace changes, redundancies and finding additional work.

Empowering workplaces
Your union is a democratic and worker-led organisation. Union delegates   and representatives work with our Union officials to better workplace safety, improve pay and conditions, and stand with members to navigate any workplace challenges they may have. The ASU provides workplace leaders with the training and support they need to empower their workplaces.

Our Workplace Sustainability Policy:
Surveys of our members show concern about climate change ranks in the top four issues, alongside protecting your rights at work, health and education, and the economy.

We are passionate about this issue too and take the matter up with policy makers in Government and industry.

Recognising how important this is to our members, the Australian Services Union Victorian Private Sector Branch has developed a Clean & Green Guide to assist our Members and Delegates to take proactive and practical steps in their workplace to tackle climate change and promote sustainability.

Our Guide includes:
• Tried and true office best practices to reduce paper consumption, conserve energy, and improve recycling and waste management;
• Tips on how to develop, through consultation, a workplace environmental policy and committee;
• Purchasing Power – Australian Services Union members are uniquely placed to positively influence their employers’ purchasing habits and policies;
• Bargaining for sustainability.

The emphasis is on simple and practical change that every member of the union can make to contribute towards a more sustainable office environment.

Coming soon is our Clean & Green Guide.


I joined the Union because I believe in their power to make positive changes in everybody's life.”
