Branch Handbook

The democratic framework of the Queensland Nurses and Midwives' Union is based on its Local Branch structure. Local Branches are the building blocks of our union and the perfect place for nurses and midwives to begin engagement with their union. A forum for addressing workplace issues, local branches also play an important role in the democratic decision making process of our union. Local branches contribute to the development of our union’s policies and direction by submitting motions to the QNMU Annual Conference for debate. Any workplaces with ten or more members can form a Local Branch.
