A Proud Red Union Partner

NPAA is proudly supported by Red Union Support Hub.

Red Union Support Hub is a subscription service that services and joins subscribers to its various professional associations and trade union affiliates. RUSH supports nurses, teachers, doctors, police officers and miscellaneous workers all across Australia.

By joining, you will be joining a group of workers over 20,000 strong!

By referring a friend to any Red Union Organisation, you will receive a discount on your next subscription payment. See which professional associations you can refer to here.

The Nurses' Professional Association of Australia (NPAA) is an industrial association whose principal purpose is to protect and promote the interests of members in matters concerning their employment or professional engagement. No membership fees are used to support any political party (including the ALP), so we are able to source and/or provide representation for all members, on all issues, better than our competitors. RUSH subscribers are joined to both NPAA, and their relevant State-based professional association upon subscribing.
