INVESTING IN PEOPLE & SOCIETY
BARGAINING NTEU has consulted widely with higher education staff about the employment issues that concern them most. That consultation has led to our key bargaining claims.
JOB SECURITY The Howard Government stripped job security guarantees from Agreements. Collective Bargaining is our opportunity to regain these conditions.
RESEARCH STAFF NTEU is seeking to improve the lot of research staff, who are mostly employed on fixed-term or casual contracts with inferior employment conditions.

NTEU is campaigning to reinvigorate Australia’s universities under the banner of Our Universities Matter – Investing in People and Society. Australia’s universities matter. They advance knowledge, foster critical thinking and public discourse, train our professions and provide life-long learning. Universities are central to Australia’s cultural, social and economic development.
WORK/LIFE NTEU bargaining has delivered Australia’s leading paid maternity leave standard. However, we still need more flexible working arrangements and better carer’s leave.
FUNDING Ensuring our universities are properly funded is vital if they are to maintain their reputation for world class education and research.
GENERAL STAFF Many universities classify general staff unfairly, resulting in lower salaries. NTEU is seeking clear, comprehensive and objective general staff classification procedures.
