NTEU Democracy

The foundation for union strength

Better workplaces involve worker and union member participation in the decisions that affect their work.

The NTEU is a union that is deeply committed to workplace and union democracy.

Democratic structures

NTEU is a highly democratic member-driven union with elected Branch Committees, Division Councils, and a National Council comprising representatives elected by members on a two-year cycle.

Having your say

All financial members can vote in union elections, and we encourage everyone to participate. A strong democratic process makes for a stronger union.
