Together Queensland

What Together Queensland does

Together Queensland is a Queensland-registered trade union and a branch of the Australian Services Union (ASU), representing approximately 30,000 workers across the Queensland public sector — including Queensland Health, state schools, correctional centres, police, child safety, TAFE, transport, and broader government departments — as well as private sector allied health professionals, administrative and clerical staff in aged care, private hospitals, universities, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health services, call centres, private pathology, and the legal industry. The union is democratically governed by its members, led by President Sharon Abbott and Branch Secretary Alex Scott, and operates from its headquarters at Level 4, 43 Peel Street, South Brisbane. Its core services include collective bargaining for enterprise agreements, industrial representation at tribunals, advocacy on workplace rights, and a suite of member benefit programs delivered through partnerships with Maurice Blackburn Lawyers (legal services, including custodial corrections insurance), Union Health (not-for-profit health fund), Member Advantage and Union Shopper (discount programs), and the ASU Career Launchpad (professional development).

The organization's technology footprint is a web-based member management platform centered on the public website (together.org.au) and a member-only portal (members.together.org.au) that delivers industrial advice, representation request submission, and access to member resources. A membership system upgrade and portal relaunch scheduled for July 2026 will introduce new tiered subscription pricing for part-time and casual workers, addressing the historical under-subscription of non-full-time workers. The union's revenue is generated almost entirely from membership subscriptions structured by employment type, with annual increases aligned to the Queensland State Wage Case (3.5% for 2026-2027). The organization has no disclosed external funding and is non-profit; financial figures are not publicly disclosed.

Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: potential members join via the website, are recruited through a delegate network embedded across Queensland workplaces, and are engaged via content marketing, social media, email, webinars, and campaign events. Together Queensland is also affiliated with the Queensland Council of Unions, participates in coordinated multi-union wage and public-sector campaigns, and engages actively in regulatory processes including the 2026 statutory review of the Queensland Industrial Relations Act.

Regional players

• Transport Workers' Union (TWU Queensland): National transport union with Queensland branch. Comparable membership and subscription model but operates in transport/logistics vertical rather than Together's service-sector focus. Strong overlap in public-facing union advocacy methods.

Others

• Queensland Council of Unions (QCU): Queensland peak union body of which Together is an affiliate. Coordinates joint union campaigns including public sector wage campaigns. Not a competitor but a closely aligned umbrella organisation; comparable as a peer due to overlapping membership and shared agenda.

Direct peers

• Health Workers Union / Health Services Union (HSU): National union covering allied health and health service workers — directly competes with Together for allied health professionals and health administrators in Queensland, particularly in private pathology, aged care, and call centres.
• Queensland Teachers' Union (QTU): Represents teachers and school staff across Queensland state schools — directly overlapping with Together's Department of Education members (schools officers, science technicians, administration officers). Comparable membership model and bargaining counterpart.
• Australian Services Union: Together Queensland is a branch of the Australian Services Union (ASU), the parent union covering similar service-sector workers nationally. Directly comparable by membership model, sector coverage (public services, health, administrative), and democratic governance structure.
• United Workers Union (UWU): National union with strong Queensland presence covering cleaners, childcare, aged care, retail, and fast food workers. Directly competes with Together in aged care and private-sector service worker coverage; similar subscription funding model.
• Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation (ANMF Queensland): Represents nurses and midwives in Queensland, particularly in private aged care and private hospitals — sectors where Together also covers allied health professionals. Direct competitor for the same healthcare worker member base.
• Australian Salaried Medical Officers' Federation Queensland (ASMOFQ): Together recently negotiated jointly with ASMOFQ for Visiting Medical Officers' pay increases. Represents salaried doctors in Queensland Health — closely aligned industrial counterpart and shared bargaining counterpart with Together.
• Queensland Nurses and Midwives' Union (QNMU): Queensland peak union for nurses and midwives working in Queensland Health and the public sector — the same employer Together negotiates with. Direct overlap in member base, EBA cycles, and Queensland public health industrial agenda.
• Community and Public Sector Union (CPSU, SPSF Group Queensland): Represents Queensland public servants and directly competes with Together for the same Queensland Government employee membership pool. Comparable EBA-driven representation model and member benefits ecosystem.
