ASU Rules

There are separate rules covering all entities of the "ASU". These rules can be found at the links below "Federally registered union rules" and "State registered union rules". 

All employee organisations (unions) registered under the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009 are governed by rules which set out the way they are run and are responsible to their members. 

To ensure good governance within unions, we must lodge documents as required by the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009 and the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Regulations 2009. Those documents can be found here. 

If you have any queries about Rules matters, please email us.
