Free Union Membership for Teachers: How Your Referrals Can Pay Your Dues

Free Union Membership? Yes Please!

Are you a teacher looking to enjoy all the benefits of TPAA membership without the price tag? Great news—your referrals can earn you completely FREE membership with the Teachers' Professional Association of Australia (TPAA)!

Why Teachers Are Choosing TPAA

Teachers across Australia are turning to TPAA for something different—professional, politically neutral, and highly responsive support that actually delivers.

Take Angie, for example. After being told by her old union that they couldn’t help with her workplace issue, she reached out to TPAA.

"Amazing experience dealing with the friendly and very encouraging staff at TPAA. They got onto my case so quickly and had things sorted superfast with amazing results. I am forever grateful!" - Angie

Abrielle, a TPAA member since 2020, shared a similar story:

"They gave us a voice and supported us through uncertain times. Very impressed by their integrity, honesty and clear communication. I’ll never go back to my old union.” - Abrielle

And it’s not just about support—it’s about real action.

"The TPAA are heroes. No politics. Doesn’t matter what the issue is—they’ll support your work rights and your human rights. They’ll even ring you at late notice if you need urgent help. All heroes, who really help.” - L.P.

After experiencing this level of care, many teachers are naturally sharing TPAA with colleagues—and when they do, they’re rewarded.

Every time a teacher you refer joins TPAA, you both receive a $100 credit toward your membership fees. Some members have even referred enough colleagues to earn completely free membership for the year—just by helping others find better representation.

Refer colleagues to experience these TPAA advantages while you both enjoy $100 off your membership fees:
