National Tertiary Education Union - NTEU The national page of the NTEU; Australia's union for all staff in tertiary education. We won't always agree with each other, and that's okay.

Authorised by D Cahill, National Tertiary Education Union, 120 Clarendon St, Southbank VIC 3006. Welcome to the page of the National Tertiary Education Union, we’re so glad you’re here. NTEU is Australia's national union for staff working in tertiary education. It represents all professional staff, academic and research staff, as well those working in ELICOS and TAFE administration. This page is a place to participate in meaningful conversations about our rights at work in higher education and associated causes and news. We encourage lively debate and a variety of opinions particularly around ideas and policy. At the same time, we expect everyone to express themselves in a way that's respectful and constructive. Your comment may be removed if:
● It is racist, sexist, homophobic, or otherwise discriminatory or defamatory.
● It is abuse, threatening, encourages violence or incites hatred.
● It involves swearing, name-calling, personal attacks or other anti-social behaviour
● It includes video or images that our community may find distressing (graphic violence,
po*******hy, etc).
● Personal, public criticism of staff who may be simply doing their job.
● It is wildly off-topic, designed to sell something or spam
● It is in a language other than English (we can't always vouch for the suitability of these
comments, so we'll sometimes remove them to be on the safe side).
● We reserve to the right to make this a safe place for our members to express their views
● Ultimately the NTEU may be held responsible for content on our Facebook and so we may delete disinformation or misinformation and ban users responsible for repeatedly misleading posts. Repeated failure to stick to these rules may see you blocked from our page without warning. TL;DR: Please don't be a jerk :)

We don’t give personalised industrial or legal advice on social media, so if you are an NTEU member looking for representation, please contact your local Branch, union organiser or call the national office on 03 9254 1910. If you are not a member and wish to join, you can do so online

It’s time for a better approach. Australia needs a university funding system that supports students, values education across all disciplines and properly funds our public universities. Send a postcard to Minister for Education Jason Clare to scrap Job Ready Graduates 👉 betterunis.nteu.au/postcards

More than two-thirds of WA university staff surveyed by the National Tertiary Education Union oppose merging Curtin, UWA and Murdoch, with the union vowing to vehemently fight the proposal.

The state government has announced a steering committee to establish a business case for a potential merger, with NTEU WA Division Secretary Professor Scott Fitzgerald asked to represent staff on the body.

An NTEU WA Division survey of 936 university staff, conducted between July and September, found 68.7 per cent oppose a merger, with just 11.9 per cent in support and 19.4 per cent undecided.

Opposition was strongest at the three universities named in the proposal, at 75 per cent of Curtin respondents, 68 per cent at Murdoch and 66 per cent at UWA.
