“The great thing about volunteering with the AUWU is I know I am meeting a real need,” AUWU member.
The AUWU Communications Team handles our communications with our members, the media, other organisations and the general public. Put your social media savvy, your way with words, or your talent with graphics to good use!
Scroll down for details about the roles within our Communications Team.
(Note: volunteering with the AUWU cannot be counted towards your mutual obligations with your job agent, however we are happy to supply you with references as part of your job search.)
