Health Services Union of Australia (1991 - )HSU |

| Function: Trade Union (Federal) | |||
| The Health Services Union union was first registered under the Conciliation and Arbitration Act as a Federal Organisation on April 12, 1911, but had been operating on an informal basis for a number of years before that. Originally it was called the Hospital and Asylum Attendants & Employees' Union, and its only members were in Victoria. In 1914 the name was changed to the Hospital Dispensary and Asylum Employees' Union of Australia. From 1924 branches in other states were formed. By 1930 members of the Hospital Employees’ Association of Australia, who predominantly worked in Victorian and NSW psychiatric hospitals, amalgamated unofficially (this particular union was not deregistered until 1949) into the Hospital Dispensary and Asylum Employees' Union and prompted a change of name to the Hospital, Dispensary and Asylum Employees' and Allied Government Officers' Federation of Australia. In 1946 the name was again formally changed to the Hospital Employees' Federation of Australasia which became the Hospital Employees' Federation of Australia in 1959. The Hospital Employees' Federation of Australia continued until it was amalgamated with the Health and Research Employees' Association (which, itself, had operated from 1969) in 1991 and became known simply as the Health Services Union of Australia.
