Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union

 

OHS Industry Training Fund

The AMWU operates an OHS Industry Training Fund, replacing the previous Health and Occupational Safety Training Australia (HOSTA), to provide subsidised training and education for eligible AMWU members.

AMWU enterprise agreements in some industries require employers to make a weekly contribution into the fund on behalf of each employee. Through our registered training organisation partner, Future Skills, the AMWU is able to use those funds to put members through accredited courses and qualifications in Work Health and Safety.

The current range of courses and available dates can be seen here on the Future Skills website.

If you’re employed under an agreement that provides for OHS Industry Training contributions and would like to undertake training, please contact us via the form below or at [email protected] and we will be in touch.

If you aren’t sure if your agreement provides for OHS Industry Training contributions, or want to see them in your next agreement please reach out to your organiser or delegate.
