The Australian Maritime Officers Union (AMOU) was formed in 1993 when the Merchant Service Guild and the Australian Stevedoring Supervisors Association amalgamated. With a proud history extending back to the 1880s the AMOU is uniquely placed to represent Mariners as well as Professional, Administrative, Supervisory and Technical employees in the Maritime Industry and dependent services.

The AMOU is registered by the Australian Industrial Relations Commission and in accordance with the employment laws of Queensland, New South Wales and Western Australia. This enables the AMOU to represent members in the Federal and State legal jurisdictions.

The AMOU provides a range of employment services to members including advice on employment contract matters; employment vacancies; access to marine legal liability insurance; Superannuation support and Personal Injury (including workers' and seafarers' compensation).
