The Australian Labor Party was founded as a federal party prior to the first sitting of the Australian Parliament in 1901, but is descended from Labour parties founded in the various Australian colonies by the emerging labour movement in Australia, formally beginning in 1891. Labor is thus the country's oldest political party. Colonial Labour parties contested seats from 1891, and federal seats, following Federation, at the 1901 federal election. Labor was the first party in Australia to win a majority in either house of the Australian Parliament, at the 1910 federal election.

The ALP predates both the British Labour Party and New Zealand Labour Party in party formation, government, and policy implementation.

The Australian Labor Party is a democratic and federal party, which consists of both individual members and affiliated trade unions, who between them decide the party's policies, elect its governing bodies and choose its candidates for public office. The majority of trade unions in Australia are affiliated to the party, and their affiliation fees, based on the size of their memberships, makes up a large part of the party's income. The party consists of six state and two territory branches, each of which consists of local branches which any Australian resident can join, plus affiliated trade unions.

In September 1920, graduate women in Sydney formed the Sydney University Women Graduates' Association. Other states were quick to respond. The University of Queensland Women Graduates' Association was established at a meeting in September 1920 and the Victorian Women Graduates' Association in November 1920. During 1920-21, graduate women in South Australia and Tasmania indicated an interest in linking up with their interstate counterparts in the formation of the Australian Federation of University Women (AFUW).

The AFUW was formally established at the inaugural conference held in Sydney in September 1922, which was attended by 75 women, representing every state except Western Australia. Mrs Frances Thorn of the Victorian association was elected as AFUW's first President, with Mrs Muscio elected as Vice-President. The Western Australian Association of University Women was formed in 1923 and the Canberra Association of Women Graduates in the 1944. At its peak in the 1930s, the Federation's membership was some 6500, representing the great majority of all the women university graduates then living in Australia.

Renamed in 2009 as the Australian Federation of Graduate Women, the AFGW is a longstanding member association of the International Federation of University of Women (IFUW). Miss Louisa Macdonald and Mrs Mildred Muscio were Australian representatives at the first IFUW conference, held in London in 1920, where the aim of the International Federation was laid out in the Constitution as being 'To promote understanding and friendship between the university women of the nations of the world, and thereby to further their interests and develop between their countries sympathy and mutual helpfulness.' Over the years, the IFUW has been involved in a number of initiatives related to improving the working and living conditions of women around the world. In addition to its involvement with women's issues specific to Australia, the AFGW also adopts IFUW initiatives and applies them at a national level.

The Union was set up in 1965 to provide a meeting place for students, graduates and staff. The Union evolved from the Student’s Association.

Robert Samuel Ross (1873-1931), socialist journalist and trade-union organizer, was born on 5 January 1873 in Sydney. Inspired by the writings of William Lane, who believed that a co-operative society could be constructed through trade-union organizations, Ross attempted to disseminate his principles among the unions. He worked energetically as a journalist, speaker and agitator and was a founder of the Queensland Socialist League in 1894 and Socialist Democratic Vanguard in 1900. Ross went to Broken Hill in January 1903 to become editor of the Barrier Truth, the 'voice' of the Broken Hill union movement. In May 1906 Ross launched the Flame, published by the Barrier Social Democratic Club of which he was chairman, writer and public speaker. One of his lifelong convictions, apparent in his association with the labour press, was that only through education and dissemination of propaganda would workers mobilize. As municipal librarian at Broken Hill in 1906-08, he introduced radical literature. In August 1908 Ross accepted an offer by the Victorian Socialist Party to become secretary and editor of its magazine, the Socialist. In 1911-13 he edited the Maoriland Worker in Wellington. Ross assisted in forming the Queensland Typographical Association, the Broken Hill branch of the Amalgamated Miners' Association and the Tailoresses' Union; he was a member of the Australian Workers' Union and the Melbourne Trades Hall Council delegate for the Federated Clerks' Union. He also edited several union publications. During the 1920s he was appointed publicity officer of Labor Papers Ltd and travelled extensively to gather funds to establish a labour daily newspaper. Self-educated himself and an omnivorous reader of socialist and rationalist literature, Ross contributed prolifically to labour journals. But his most notable literary achievement was the launching in 1915 of his own magazine, Ross's Monthly of Protest, Personality and Progress—an iconoclastic polemical journal which discussed cultural issues. It survived until 1924 when it was incorporated into Union Voice with Ross as editor. He was also a member of the Y-Club and ran Ross's Book Service which offered a wide variety of literature. Ross became council-member (1925) of the University of Melbourne and trustee (1928) of the Public Library, museums and National Gallery. In November 1930 he was appointed a commissioner of the State Savings Bank. Ross died on 24 September 1931 at Richmond.

Founded in London in 1949 by unions opposing growing communist control of the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) in the initial phase of the cold war. The breakaway was triggered by the WFTU's aim to absorb the hitherto autonomous International Trade Secretariats and its rejection of the Marshall Plan. With this background and the American Federation of Labor as an affiliate, the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) in the first two decades of its existence strongly identified with Western democratic values and strictly refused contacts with communist and Eastern European state controlled unions.

Shortly after its founding the ICFTU established a network of regional organizations: the European Regional Organisation in 1950, the Organización Regional Interamericana de Trabajadores, the Asian Regional Organisation in 1951, and finally the African Regional Organisation in 1960. Increasing bilateral Eastern European contacts of member unions and a dispute concerning affiliation of the United Automobile Workers caused the walk out of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) in 1969, reentering in 1982.

Following the changes in the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries some trade unions in these countries left the WFTU to affiliate with the ICFTU. Membership as a rule was open to trade unions independent from external control but, from the Third World in particular, members with limited freedom from government, political parties and employers, were also accepted.

In 2006 the International Trade Union Confederation was founded from the merger of the former International Confederation of Free Trade Unions and the World Confederation of Labour.

The growth of manufacturing activity in the late 19th century led to the formation of the Queensland Chamber of Manufactures in 1899. The Chamber of Manufactures continued to represent its constituency until the mid 1970s, when the end of the long post-war boom and the confluence of a number of other national and international economic influences led the Queensland Chamber of Manufactures, the Queensland Employers´ Federation, the North Queensland and Central Queensland Employers´ Associations and the Mackay Employers´ Federation to merge in 1976 to form the Queensland Confederation of Industry [QCI]. QCI merged with the State Chamber of Commerce & Industry (Queensland) and the Toowoomba Chamber of Commerce in 1994 to form the Queensland Chamber of Commerce and Industry Ltd [QCCI]. In April 2001, QCCI re-launched itself as Commerce Queensland.

The first federal tribunal to have jurisdiction over industrial matters was the Commonwealth Court of Conciliation and Arbitration. Established under the Conciliation and Arbitration Act 1904, the Court had both arbitral and judicial powers. This meant that it could make an award specifying wages and conditions of employment in settlement of an interstate dispute and it could interpret and enforce the award, if necessary imposing penalties on any party to the award who did not comply with its provisions. The Act also provided for the registration of organisations of employers and employees.

In 1956 substantial amendments were made to the Conciliation and Arbitration Act which affected a separation of the judicial and arbitrative functions of the Court. In effect, it was deemed unconstitutional for the Arbitration Court to be vested with both arbitral and judicial powers because of the acceptance in the Constitution of the separation of legislative and judicial powers. Hence amendments were made providing for the establishment of a Commonwealth Industrial Court and a Conciliation and Arbitration Commission to overtake the dual role of the Court of Conciliation & Arbitration.

Australia's first energy company, the Australian Gas Light Company, was established in 1837 to light the streets of Sydney.

During the inter-war years many conferences were held between the Commonwealth and State Governments and Wheat Growers to discuss the stabilization of the Industry. The establishment of a Commonwealth Board to effect this was the aim of these meetings. Two bills to set up the Board (1930 and 1931) were rejected by the Senate. In May and August of 1939 some progress was made towards stability.

The turmoil of the second world war furthered movement towards regulation and stabilization. It was decided that wheat, being a staple should be managed in an orderly fashion with its handling, protection, disposal and shipment responsibly co-ordinated, so the Australian Wheat Board was set up under the National Security legislation. In December 1945 the Commonwealth Government consulted with the Wheat Growers Federation, whose proposals were fully met.

The Australian Wheat Board was privatised on 1 July 1999, becoming AWB Limited.

The Unitarians established a church in East Melbourne in 1853, the first prayer offered reflecting their liberal non-Trinitarian theology ('Grant that a rational and scriptural Christianity may always be taught here ... That our intellects may be suppressed by no contradictions and absurdities'). Unitarianism, once known as 'the half-way house to infidelity', attracted an intellectual elite with enlightened attitudes to women, appointing the Rev. Martha Turner as their minister in 1873. Prominent members included the poet Bernard O'Dowd and many pacifists, with the church being active in the anti-war movement from World War I through to the Vietnam War.
