AEU Events
All AEU members are encouraged to attend courses offered through the AEU union member development program. The program is designed to develop members to become more effective, active and knowledgeable members of the union.
Members are supported to attend the union education program through the funding of casual relief staff and support for travel and accommodation for country members, if necessary. Only financial AEU members can attend courses offered through the union member development program, and there is no charge to attend.

Parking: Parking available at the union office at Parkside is quite limited, which can cause frustration at times. We encourage members to use public transport to the AEU office, or to car share, if possible, and ask people to consider leaving their cars at home. We want to play our part in reducing carbon emissions. Please click on this link to the Adelaide Metro website for a public transport timetable. This website can assist you to plan your trip to the AEU and arrive for your course on time.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION regarding Joint AEU/DECS Merit Selection: Earlier this year, the AEU temporarily suspended all Merit Selection and PAC training until the new policy is in place. As an emergency stop gap 3 sessions will be held on Week 5 Monday 16 August; Week 8 Friday 10 September; and the 2nd week of the school holidays Thursday 7 October. Please register online through the DECS ESMPU website
Merit Selection Panellist Retraining has also been suspended until the new policy is in place, and consequently, there will be no Merit Selection Retraining in Term 2, 2010.
PAC Training will not be offered by the AEU until the second phase of the current Arbitration process has been finalised. The AEU will then update the training times and venues.
Local Selection Training: AEU reps can contact DECS Ethical Standards & Merit Protection Unit on 8226 1342 to request written information if they have been unable to access training to date. Reading this information will constitute accreditation as a Local Selection Panelist. This process will apply only for this year.
The revised Merit Selection Training available later in 2010 will incorporate information on Local Selection.
