District Council Meetings occur in term 1 and term 3 for every district. These meetings are to ensure union members form every district has the opportunity to district level discussion, information and decision making on school, district and state level matters.

Every school /college is entitled to send a “district council delegate”. This member position is to be elected at the Feb/march annual general meeting for your school. This elected position entitles the district rep to formal decision making on the school memberships behalf and to be fully funded to attend the meeting (travel, accommodation, meals).

All members are welcome to attend as observers; however observer members do not have formal voting rights and will not be provided travel/accommodation/meal costs.

District union meetings are TUTA accredited thus teacher relief is supplied by DET where the meeting occurs in the school week.  (see section on TUTA)
