The Union for all Professional and Commercial Divers
The MUA proudly represents the interests of professional and commercial divers across Australia. Our diving members form a tight-knit community of professionals working in various sectors such as commercial diving, scientific research, underwater construction, and more.
We understand the unique demands of the diving industry in Australia, whether it is aquaculture work off the coasts of Tasmania, or diving work around the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland.
We recognise the bravery and skill it takes to descend into the unknown, and we stand by your side, advocating for your rights and safety.
Our union is committed to securing fair wages, safe working conditions, and a supportive environment for professional divers. We negotiate with employers to ensure that your contributions are valued and rewarded appropriately.
It's why we've worked so hard over the years to make sure that divers get the respect that they deserve.
We work tirelessly to establish industry-wide standards that prioritise your well-being, from proper equipment maintenance to adequate rest periods and other safety protocols.
As a diving member of the MUA, you join a strong network of professionals who share your passion for diving and the industry. We provide a platform for you to connect with like-minded individuals, exchange knowledge, and build lasting relationships within the diving community.
Together, we can continue to tackle challenges facing the industry head on, and uplift the standards of the diving industry as a whole.
