Better wages and conditions

The QNMU is the organisation that negotiates at the bargaining table
on behalf of Queensland’s nurses and midwives. As an industrially registered organisation, we’re legally required to uphold standards and ethics as set out in the Industrial Relations Act 1999, including provisions around transparency and democracy.
Organisations not registered can only represent their members in the role of a support person. They cannot be part of making or commencing a new agreement, do not have standing with regards to the Award, cannot be heard by the Tribunal, and cannot appear on behalf of members.
