HISTORY
The Australian Services Union was formed on July 1, 1993 and is one of the largest unions in Australia. It has ten state branches and a membership of more than 140,000 and growing.
The ASU National Office serves as a coordinating body for the state branches as well as its many regional offices. While the branches deal directly with the industrial needs of our members, the national office communicates, coordinates national campaigns and industries and acts as the administrative ‘glue’ for the union.
In 2010, the Victorian Authorities and Services Branch and the Tasmanian Authorities and Services Branch amalgamated to become the ASU Victorian and Tasmanian Authorities and Services Branch.

After months of industrial action, ASU members at the City of Whittlesea win an incredible pay deal which include:
* One of the highest pay rises in local government in Victoria – four per cent in year one
* Backpay to July 1, 2023;
* $350 in pocket immediately;
* 15 week’s primary parents’ leave;
* Five weeks of secondary parents’ leave;
* Better casual conversion and casual salary progression;
* Better protections around working in adverse weather.
Congratulations Comrades! ✊✊✊

Well done to Delegates and all ASU staff involved.
Fantastic outcomes! Well done to ASU members, delegates and ASU staff!
Great work to delegates and ASU Org
I’m a delegate at city of Whittlesea’s and l like to say Georgia our ASU organiser did one hell of a fight, she’s a little ruthless brutal negotiator, l just sat back and enjoyed the show, Sean McCourt you and Rod Undy have established a good EBA & LAWA in the past, at the same time we had Di Smith in their running the show😂😂😂
4% great . should be the norm min 4 % ...annually for all staff
📣 END UNPAID PLACEMENTS 📣
Today, we joined Students Against Placement Poverty as we rallied outside NSW Parliament calling for an end to unpaid placements.
All work should be paid. Together, we can make the change.
