No one should ever be harmed at work - whether in a classroom, an electorate office, or anywhere else.

All workers deserve to be safe on the job and to go home at the end of the working day. (2/2)

The AEU extends our best regards to Indi MP Helen Haines, who was critically injured outside her Wangaratta electorate office.

Our thoughts are with Helen, her family, staff, and the Indi community at this difficult time.

No child should have their learning, well-being, or future limited by poverty.

Yet across Australia, thousands of students and families experience its impacts every single day.

These findings confirm that two years of kindergarten lays a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

To make this a reality for every child, governments must invest in high-quality, universal access to early childhood education and care, including a national workforce strategy.

On International #DemocracyDay, we’re sending a clear message: democracy must deliver for working people.

Across the world, people are working harder while the cost of housing, food, energy and care keeps rising. At the same time, powerful interests are fuelling division, spreading misinformation and weakening our democratic rights.

But when working people organise, we have power.

Unions fight for democracy every day — at work, in society and across the world. We fight for our rights, our safety, our livelihoods and our dignity. And together, we win: the right to strike, safe workplaces, fair wages and a real voice in the decisions that shape our lives.

Attacks on schools continue to rise worldwide.

In 2025, 1,680 attacks on schools were recorded, a 33% increase from the previous year.

On #ProtectEducationFromAttack Day, @UNESCO calls for stronger protection of education, respect for international law and safe access to learning, even in times of crisis.

Teaching boys to respect girls isn’t woke. It’s just common decency.

These comments are either a malevolent mischaracterisation of Australia's education system for political gain, or a display of complete ignorance of how the teaching profession operates," the union said in a statement.

The teaching profession has been unjustly targeted by three federal politicians this week, with comments that undermine the profession and reduce trust in teachers.

Like many LNP politicians before him, Matt Canavan has decided to attack teachers, particularly women. Our members experience misogyny every day, they should not be subject to it by politicians. https://t.co/rDokH8hwbd

Pauline Hanson is just stirring up fear and anger with these completely unfounded claims of brainwashing in schools.

These kinds of divisive attacks weaken trust in teaching, make it harder to recruit and retain teachers, and undermine our education system as a whole.
