AEU Events
All AEU members are encouraged to attend courses offered through the AEU union member development program. The program is designed to develop members to become more effective, active and knowledgeable members of the union.
Members are supported to attend the union education program through the funding of casual relief staff and support for travel and accommodation for country members.
Only financial AEU members can attend courses offered through the union member development program, and there is no charge to attend. Click here to view travel assistance and relief funding assistance information.
Parking: Parking at the AEU office at Parkside is quite limited, which can cause frustration at times. We encourage members to use public transport to the AEU office, or to car share if possible. In doing so you will be helping to reduce carbon emissions. Please click on this link to the Adelaide Metro website for a public transport timetable. This website can assist you to plan your trip to the AEU and arrive for your course on time.
2012 AEU/DECS PAC Training: Dates for PAC Training in Term 1 2012 have been confirmed. Please download a copy of the PAC Handbook and read before attending the training. More dates for the remainder of 2012 will be added as they are confirmed.
Joint AEU/DECS Merit Selection Panellist Information Sessions and Training:
The DECS Merit Selection Review has been finalised. To assist in transition to the new policy, AEU members can register with DECS Ethical Standards & Merit Protection Unit to attend information sessions and/or training sessions. These sessions will constitute retraining for AEU members. Information regarding times, venues and registration is available on the AEU website - please click here.
In addition, numerous full day merit selection training sessions will be conducted in country and metropolitan locations throughout 2011. Both full day training and the shorter information sessions will address local selection as well as merit selection.
AEU members who are Sub-branch Secretaries, PAC representatives, leaders or potential applicants for positions are strongly encouraged to attend a full day session if they have not previously undertaken training or an information session to update their accreditation as panellists and become familiar with any changes to current procedures.
Local Selection training has been incorporated into the AEU/DECS Merit Selection training since the beginning of 2009. Local Selection will continue to be included in Merit Selection training in 2011 and beyond.
AEU Sub-branch Secretaries and other members who may need to participate in either merit or local selection processes are encouraged to attend Merit Selection training. This training must be undertaken prior to the selection process commencing.The training is also useful for all PAC members.
