The Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) is the peak national body representing 38 affiliated unions and nearly two million workers and their families. The private company is based in Melbourne, Australia. Established in 1927, the ACTU leads campaigns to improve wages, workplace safety, gender equality, superannuation, paid leave, and broader social reforms. It advocates for workers' rights through collective action, government and non-government forums, and international solidarity, engaging with organizations such as the International Labour Organisation and the International Trade Union Confederation. The ACTU coordinates initiatives and services including Australian Unions (membership and campaign resources), Mind Your Head (workplace mental health), Worksite (rights for students and new workers), OHS (occupational health and safety advocacy and training), and Union Aid Abroad-APHEDA (international worker education and development). It operates as a registered training organisation, providing accredited health and safety representative courses compliant with Commonwealth legislation. The ACTU hosts a triennial congress where delegates debate and set policies to advance workers' conditions and rights, and its website offers resources such as a national union directory, media releases, policy documents, and campaign archives. The ACTU promotes union membership benefits, including exclusive offers and financial services, and actively campaigns on issues like workplace mental health, industrial relations reform, climate change job plans, and international solidarity.
