Union of Architectural Workers

Call Directions Website

Union of Architectural Workers We are the union of Architecture, Landscape & Interior workers & students, a division of Professionals Australia. We fight exploitation in our industry.

Authorised by S. Roberts, West Melbourne, VIC 3003. PAA is a union of architects and spatial designers so we know the issues and we are working together from within to address the barriers to equality and fairness in our industry. We are part of the Professionals Australia network with more than 20,000 union members across Australia. We bring architects together not only to work for better wages and to ensure your rights are protected, but to help resolve the issues facing our profession.

86% of architects work unpaid overtime.
That is not just dedication. That’s not just the job. That is exploitation that has been normalised for so long it has become invisible.

So, you got the job and now it's time to get to work!

There are two ways you can do this; you can go with the flow and hope for the best, or take charge and make it the best.

In this session led by our senior career coach Ana Gabriela Laverde, we will be exploring the second option. How to set up goals, map growth opportunities, keep yourself accountable, communicate effectively and keep track of your achievements.
