The Australian Education Union (AEU) is an Australian trade union which is registered with [Fair Work Australia] as an employee group, and is affiliated with the Australian Council of Trade Unions. The AEU has a membership of over 180,000 educators who work in public schools, colleges, early childhood and vocational settings in all states and territories of Australia. Members include teachers and allied educational staff, principals and administrators mainly in government school and TAFE systems. Teachers working in the private schools system are covered by the Independent Education Union of Australia (IEU). In some states the AEU shares coverage of some members with the [NTEU], [CPSU] and [LHMU]. Through the Federation of Education Unions, the AEU works closely with the two other Federal unions which cover educators in non-government schools and universities. The AEU is also internationally affiliated to the [Education International], which the AEU claims is "the largest non-government organisation in the world."
