This means that UWU members working at Estia, Aegis and Opal can now be considered for sponsorship by their employer and have a pathway to become a permanent resident!

WHAT DOES THE BREAKTHROUGH MEAN TO YOU?

Our website is hosted on 100% carbon neutral servers in Naarm (Melbourne). The United Workers Union is committed to creating the secure & future-proof jobs workers and their communities need as our country continues to transition to a net zero economy.

UWU acknowledges that we meet and work on the unceded lands of First Nations peoples. We wish to pay respect to their Elders — past and present — and acknowledge the important role all First Nations peoples continue to play within Australia and in our union.
