Online Advocacy Course

Welcome to the AUWU’s online advocacy course.

This course is completely free and self-directed. It is designed for people who want to learn more about what rights unemployed workers have in the employment services system. After completing the course, participants will be eligible for volunteering with the AUWU advocacy services.

The course is a three-step process:

  • watch the six videos below
  • read the “communication skills” document
  • take the quiz

If you successfully complete the course and want to volunteer with our advocacy team, please contact our advocacy coordinators on advocacy@unemployedworkersunion.com

Every Friday, 10.00 am to 2.00 pm, out of our Melbourne city location, we have advocacy discussion and debriefing sessions. Phone the AUWU Hotline (03) 8394 5266 to make a phone or in-person appointment.
