The ACTU has pivoted to growth. When building the ACTU Growth Plan one of the key requests from affiliates, out of the consultations conducted in late 2019, was the need to share resources, expertise and innovate with technology. Affiliates expressed a strong desire to maximise the use of modern database technology. They wanted solutions which recognise all affiliates do not have the internal resources necessary to take the advantages of digital innovation. They also recognised the significant savings and benefits arising from a collective approach.
