This training is a really exciting opportunity for reps, in particular new reps and is capped at 20 participants, spanning over two days in week 2, term 4. Reps are entitled to apply for industrial leave for this course (to find out more, head to the ‘fact sheets’ section of our website). If you are a new rep at your school, we’d strongly encourage you to attend this training. We’re lucky enough to have Rachel Bos deliver this training – she’s a high school teacher and has previously worked for the Queensland Teachers Union and more recently worked on training for ATUI for the Voice to Parliament.

• Describe the role of a workplace union rep
