Welcome to A 'Blueprint' for Union Organising

A 'Blueprint' for Union Organising celebrates the rise in membership of the Australian Nursing Federation (Victorian Branch) over the last quarter century. Since 1989, membership has more than quadrupled. The ANF(Vic) might offer a blueprint for other trade unions who seek to develop an organising model.

Research, interviews and writing were undertaken by James Tierney and Christina Cregan of the University of Melbourne.

Get started:

This exhibition is an outcome of the 'Australian Women and Leadership in a Century of Democracy' project, in collaboration with the University of Melbourne and the Australian Nursing Federation (Victorian Branch), as part of the National Foundation for Australian Women's ongoing initiative, the Australian Women's Archives Project.

This research was generously supported by the Australian Nursing Federation (Victorian Branch), and the Australian Research Council's Linkage Projects funding scheme (project number LP100200304).
