Equity in Action
Our Equity Committee provides an overarching structure for all matters relating to Equity.
As an Education Union we cover an industry which is a highly feminised workforce.

Whilst gender based issues provide the majority of our work, we aim to work towards addressing inequity faced by our members from the following communities:
- LGBTIQA+
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI)
- Multicultural
