ABOUT US

The Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) represents nearly 1.7 million workers and their families. Since 1927, we have led some of the most significant workplace struggles in Australia’s history. The ACTU’s role as a peak body is to encourage workers to join their union, be a national voice for our movement, and advance and defend workers’ rights through coordinated campaigns, representation, and support to our affiliates.

As a Web Developer within the Digital Development team, you will play a key role in building and maintaining websites, digital tools, applications, integrations, dashboards, and databases that support the strategic goals of the ACTU and the broader trade union movement. You will contribute to projects such as our AI initiative and Join 4.0, collaborating with campaigners and technical stakeholders to deliver ethical, accessible, and future-ready digital solutions.

Reporting to the Digital Development and Data Manager, you will:

• Develop and maintain high-quality websites and campaign tools.
• Build and manage ACTU software and systems with a focus on data security and analytics.
• Contribute to AI and Join 4.0 projects through infrastructure development.
• Create dashboards to track digital performance.
• Ensure best practices in accessibility, privacy, and security.
• Document systems and processes for ongoing development.
• Leverage AI technologies to support ACTU’s strategic goals.
