Member Discounts
To help members stretch their pay packets further the ASU has partnered with selected providers giving members access to exclusive benefits:
Just as Unions work to protect your workplace rights, Union Shopper works to protect your wallet by maximising the savings you make on a range of lifestyle benefits. The service is FREE, and you can potentially save thousands of dollars on your everyday purchases each year. In fact, the savings many members make each year can easily offset their union membership fees.
ME is a different kind of bank. It’s completely owned by industry super funds, and just like those funds, they have special offers for union members to help you get ahead, and make the most of your pay packet.
Australian Unions Member Benefits are provided to every union member through the ACTU in partnership with your union. As a union member, you can take advantage of the collective buying power of more than 1.8 million members to get big discounts from a great range of companies.
Australia’s Number 1 law firm offers exclusive benefits for ASU members when they’re most in need, including often on a no win, no fee basis.
Vision Super is our super partner. They are a top-performing industry super fund, run only to benefit members, not to make a profit for shareholders. The Fund’s Balanced Growth (MySuper) and Pension option continues to deliver strong returns, achieving top quartile performance over the last 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 years
Cooperative Power is our electricity partner. ASU members can access an exclusive electricity offer to power their homes. Cooperative Power is done with the traditional energy model. They’re non-profit. They believe in the science of climate change. CoPower is a new way for people to buy clean, sustainable & affordable energy – and build a better future for us all.

"Seeing family overseas get COVID-19 and not having access to vaccinations made me realise how lucky and privileged we are to have a free vaccine given to us to reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19.
I went and got my Astra Zeneca vaccine a few weeks ago when we went back into restrictions and COVID-19 was still a real and present threat to the health of our community. Protecting my family, my friends and my community was important to me and I believe it is our responsibility to do everything we can to protect our community."

October is National Safe Work Month.
We all deserve to be safe at work, and COVID-19 has put up new challenges on that front, particularly for essential workers.
So thank you to all the ASU members, delegates and health and safety reps who have stepped up this year, and who make their workplaces safer for everyone.
