Internationalism in Australia
Union Aid Abroad–APHEDA is a movement-based organisation. All our international solidarity projects are carried out alongside unionists and activists in Australia who share a strong connection with workers in other countries.
We organise locally to build connections, support campaigns, and advocate for a greater commitment from our society to justice, democracy, and equality.
If you want to be part of our movement, you can get involved here.
If you’d like us to speak about international solidarity work at your workplace, event or community group, contact Lachlan Batchelor:
