Union staff are only featured in the pages of the IEU newspaper The Point when they begin working for members and when they depart. It is a policy shaped by a member-first outlook.

From 1 July 2026, Victorian workers have new protections restricting the use of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) in sexual harassment cases, following long-standing union campaigning to address workplace silence and cover-ups. 

More than 50,000 IEU members are women, and women make up 75% of the education workforce, making them a key focus of the union’s work.

Women make up three-quarters of the education workforce. International Women’s Day highlights how these members drive change in workplaces, policy, and government.
