Union Aid Abroad APHEDA is the global justice organisation of the Australian union movement. We have over 40 training projects, working through 30 separate project partners in 15 countries, assist many different communities in Southeast Asia, the Pacific, the Middle East, Southern Africa and the Caribbean. Support for these projects comes from many individual union members throughout Australia, the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU), unions and workplaces, as well as from the Australian government aid agency, DFAT.
