New General Secretary for AUS
Helen Kelly has been
appointed to the position of AUS General Secretary,
commencing on 27 May.
Helen is currently Assistant Secretary, Professional/Industrial, at NZEI, a role which has given her oversight of large and very significant industrial negotiations and of policy development for a major education-sector union.
She was formerly a schoolteacher (Dip Teaching), was an AUS Branch Organiser at Victoria (1996-97), and is currently completing an LLB at Victoria’s School of Law.
