& General
We’re proud to be part of Australia’s leading union in the construction, forestry, maritime, mining, energy, textile, clothing, and footwear industries. The CFMEU has a strong presence with offices in all capital cities across the country and in many major regional centres. We’re key players on the national stage, but we never lose sight of our local commitment to ensure that every union member in New South Wales gets a fair go.

We’re always striving for a safe and just trade landscape for everyone in this great nation.
