NTEU Membership fees
NTEU members decided that the fee for continuing and fixed-term workers will be 1% of your gross annual salary, meaning someone earning $65,000 per year will pay approximately $650 a year (before tax).
The NTEU Membership fee structure allows for a well-funded, strong union to support members in the workplace and is based on the principle that the more you earn the more you pay, so that those who can most afford to contribute assist in supporting those who can’t.
Please note: The following chart is an indication only of the range of fees payable between each $10K tier.
For example, on a salary of $72,577.10 (the current salary for a Curtin professional/general staff member on HEW 5.1), the fortnightly payroll deduction would be $27.91, or $60.48, if you chose to pay monthly via credit card or direct debit.
Your actual rate will be determined by the dollar figure of your gross salary.
Payment options
Fortnightly payroll deductions: Please check with your university payroll officer if payroll deductions are an option for you.
By credit card: Option to pay monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or annually.
By debit card: Option to pay monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or annually.
Please contact your branch for an estimate of fees if you choose to pay quarterly, half-yearly or annually.
Fees for casuals, sessional staff and currently unemployed tertiary sector workers are much lower,
as detailed in the chart below.
