Welcome to the NTEU-UWS Branch Website
NTEU is a specialist national union solely representing staff in tertiary education. In all Australian universities, NTEU represents academic and research staff, general staff, ELICOS teachers, and staff of Student Unions and university companies.
The NTEU-UWS Branch provides an advocacy role for all staff at the University of Western Sydney and staff in UWS entities such as uwsconnect and UWS Conference and Residential Colleges. The NTEU has staffed office located at Parramatta North Campus.
NTEU-UWS supports staff in workplace and industrial matters and ensures that the Academic and General Staff Enterprise Agreements are implemented. Your elected NTEU-UWS Officials carry out ongoing negotiations to ensure pay and working conditions for all staff are maintained and improved. The NTEU with the broader Australian Union and Community movement is also campaigning for the future of higher education.
As members, we hold regular General Meetings to ensure your democratic voice is heard in protecting and extending the quality of our working and leisure lives.
