Working closely with the Queensland Women Rise team, the QCU General Secretary and affiliated unions, the role supports the translation of research and policy into practical industrial outcomes through enterprise bargaining, workplace policy development, industrial education and advocacy. The position contributes to the development of model bargaining clauses, industrial resources and policy initiatives that assist affiliated unions to achieve improved outcomes for working women.

A commitment to advancing equality for working women.
A commitment to the values and principles of the trade union movement.
