About us
Run by members, for members
Being a union member means you get to have a say. Members decide collectively what approach to take to bargaining, wages and conditions. You get a say at the level of your local workplace, or at the employer level.
We are a democratic union. Read more about our union structures here.
Every part of Queensland
Together members live and work in every part of Queensland. There are Together regional offices in Cairns, Townsville, Mackay, Rockhampton, Maryborough, Bundaberg, and Toowoomba.
There are two branches of the ASU in Queensland, the other branch being The Services Union (TSU). TSU members work in local authorities, the electricity, water, rail, travel, ports and shipping industries, information technology, disabilities and community services.
Around Australia
Together is a Branch of the ASU, a national organisation with branches in each state and territory. We deal with national employers as a national union (one of Australia's largest).
A movement of people
Being a Together member makes you part of the national union movement through the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU). At a state level, we're part of the Queensland Council of Unions, the union peak body for Queensland.
Our History
Working people in Australia began to form unions for the protection of their interests in the 1880s-90s. Our predecessor organisations were founded in the first decade of the 20th century. The Queensland Public Service Union and ASU (Central and Southern Queensland) branch, also known as the Clerks Union, amalgamated on 1 July 2011 to form Together Queensland.

Together is a democratic organisation that stands up for what is right. We work together across industries and the geography of Queensland to make sure the voices of Together members are heard. As someone coming from outside the capital city, it can be hard to be heard but when you’re union you can always have a voice.
