Interested in working overseas?


Enjoy support while you are away from home



Our Association of Professional Engineers Australia (APEA) members can now enjoy the benefits of UNI Global Union – a group of 900 affiliated unions around the world. This means that members can feel supported by APEA, no matter where they are.

UNI can provide you with union support in 140 countries worldwide. They can help negotiate local labour laws, establish banking, tax, housing or health care protection when you are working overseas.

Are you a student or graduate?


Students and our young members can access UNI services too. UNI will help ensure that foreign internships will genuinely help develop your studies or your career – and avoid the exploitation of your labour.
