Annual Federal Conference 2004

 

Federal Conference is the supreme governing authority of the Australian Education Union. Delegates to Federal Conference include the Federal President, Deputy Federal President and delegates representing the General Division, TAFE Division and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members in each state and territory of Australia. Delegates hold office for two years, after which time they may be re-elected.

The AEU's 2004 Annual Federal Conference "Making Quality Public Education a National Priority", held from 16 to 18 January in Hobart, was an opportunity for Australia's public educators as unionists to make plans for the coming year. Federal Conference meets annually to discuss the priorities and policies of the union. It also determines changes to the AEU Federal Rules and appoints professional officers to work in the AEU Federal Office.
