It was formed in 1992 as a standalone union following the merger of the Australian Telecommunications Employees Association/Australian Telephone and Phonogram Officers Association and Australian Postal and Telecommunications Union. At the time of the merger the union had a membership of approximately 85,000.[1]: 36  In 1993 it absorbed the Telecommunications Officers Association (TOA), itself the result of a merger in 1991 between the Telecommunications Technical Officers Association and the External Plant Officers Association. The CWU merged into the CEPU in 1994, thereafter becoming a division of the larger union.[2]
