Abstract: The Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) is the peak body for Australian unions, which is made up of 38 affiliated unions, who together represent approximately 1.8 million workers, their families and their communities. Every three years the ACTU holds its congress. Congress is ‘effectively a parliament for working people, where delegates debate and vote on policies regarding the workplace, rights, and campaigns to improve wages, conditions and quality of life for Australian workers and their families’ (ACTU, 2024). As the ACTU's highest decision-making authority, congress sets the union agenda for the next three years
