Branch Elections: AEC Post-Election Report

The Australian Electoral Commission’s Post-Election report for our recent Branch Casual Vacancy Election is now available!

AEU Branch President David Genford will be taking recommendations to our Branch Council that the Tasmanian Branch seek to alter our rules to extend the period for responses.

Subject to further consideration we are looking at increasing the period by 1-2 weeks, noting that it currently it takes 2-6 days for letters to be delivered within Australia and the number of AEU members living in regional and remote areas.

Got questions or feedback to share? Get in touch with your AEU elected leaders!


In Term 2, members were asked to vote on elections for our Branch Executive, Council and more than 60 other roles across our union democracy. 

The election results are below, but you can view more detailed information on the Fair Work Commission website.
