The CEPU was formed in August 1994 following an amalgamation of a number of unions. The three main industries covered by CEPU are: Communications (Telecommunications) CWU T&S* Communications (Postal) CWU P&T* Electrical ETU Plumbing PGEU * In some states (SA, WA and Qld) the Postal and Telscom branches have merged and are dominated by the postal workers.
There is a National Council and National Executive which oversights the three Divisions of CEPU.
However the Divisions retain a large degree of autonomy.

To advance the interests of our members, branches of the CWU are affiliated to the following organisations: The CEPU believes that all workers are entitled to expect basic human rights and the right to join and actively involves our members in promoting their interests and to co-operate with other like-minded organisations to promote the role and achievements of the labour movement. We support the development of the communications industries in a socially responsible way. In turn the workforce should benefit from secure jobs, meaningful careers, proper training, a safe and satisfying workplace, fair and equitable treatment, a voice in management decisions and high and increasing levels of wages and employment conditions. This package of outcomes will never simply be a gift from benevolent employers or governments. Such success depends on all workers in our evolving industries being recruited to the CEPU, receiving effective representation and services, and being actively involved in the union's democratic processes. This of course is a great challenge. We face the threat of ongoing massive change: technology, corporatisation, deregulation, globalisation and anti-union political and economic ideology. By working together and with other progressive organisations, we can meet this challenge.
