Voluntary Student Unionism
Voluntary student unionism (VSU), as it is known in Australia, or voluntary student membership (VSM), as it is known in New Zealand, is a policy under which membership of – and payment of membership fees to – university student organisations is voluntary. Australia passed legislation enacting VSU in 2005, which came into force on 1 July 2006. Forms of VSU in Australia had been law in the state of Western Australia from 1994 until 2002, and in Victoria from 1994 to 2000. New Zealand passed legislation enacting VSM in 2011, rules which came into force on 1 January 2012. Arguments and issues Arguments for and against VSU typically fall into three broad categories: civil rights impacts, social impacts, and economic impacts. The civil rights argument Requiring membership of student organisations is seen by some as a form of forced unionisation, contrary to freedom of association.
