Policy Sheets

The Union has produced a series of Policy Sheets outlining QNU policy on a range of issues.  We have made some of these sheets available here.  Others are available FREE (to members only) in the members' only section.  Members can also call the QNU Information Hotline on (07) 3840 1419 or toll free on 1800 177 273 for copies of the Policy Sheets.  The Information Hotline is open 24 hours a day and uses a voicemail system.  When you call, simply leave your name, address and the title of the Policy Sheet you require and it will be sent to you by mail on the next working day.
