Job Rep Training

Paid Union Training Leave

Paid union training leave is accessible for Public Sector Job Reps. For non-public sector Job Reps, please check your entitlement to paid union training leave.

Depending on the entitlements in the applicable enterprise agreement, Job Reps may be eligible to receive paid union training leave from their employer to attend these programs.

If there is no entitlement and the employer will not provide paid training leave, Job Reps may be eligible to apply for an ANMF 'loss of pay' subsidy when taking leave without pay to attend.

Once registered, Job Reps will be provided with written confirmation, and a letter to be forwarded to their relevant NUM/MUM/Line Manager requesting leave to attend union training.

Costs: Travel, accommodation and catering

All Job Rep training is provided to you at no cost, in a friendly welcoming environment. Catering is provided complimentary to participants attending in-person programs. Where eligible, and upon provision of the relevant receipts, ANMF may reimburse costs as follows:

Melbourne training programs: If your workplace is more than 70 kilometres from the Melbourne GPO, ANMF will reimburse the cost of a standard rail fare (metro or V-Line) or a petrol subsidy including road tolls and parking fees.

Regional training programs: If your workplace is more than 20 kilometres from the regional venue, ANMF will reimburse the cost of standard public transport fares or a petrol subsidy.

Accommodation: If your workplace is more than 70 kilometres from the program venue, upon your request the ANMF will organise and pay for accommodation the night before the training commences.

The above mentioned reimbursements do not apply to our online programs.
