Welcome to the website of the Tasmanian Branch of the Australian Education Union. On these pages you will find out about the huge range of activities, policies and campaigns in which our Union is involved in looking after the interests of our members. The core business of the AEU is to achieve the best pay and conditions possible for teachers and the staff that support them in schools and in TAFE. This is done through industrial agreements, advocacy and educating members about their rights. The AEU also furthers the interests of public education by pushing for better resources in schools. Please take the time to read the speech I made to the Fabian Society and AEU Council on this matter.  WHY AREN’T OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS GOOD ENOUGH?

Apart from the benefits of being part of a strong Union, members have access to a wide range of services such as cheaper health insurance, banking and discount shopping.
