Celebrating aged care workers
We’re celebrating the annual Thank You for Working in Aged Care Week from 8 – 14 September this year.
As the union for aged care workers, we see how much heart and effort you put into caring for your residents, often going above and beyond what’s recognised. We’re here to make sure you’re respected, valued, and supported in the vital work you do.
Thanks to your collective power, we’ve secured some wins in aged care over the past few years – but our work isn’t done yet.
Right now, we’re pushing hard for Portable Long Service Leave for aged care workers, and soon we’ll be launching a campaign for Reproductive Health Leave for everyone. We’ll keep you updated when we visit your workplace – and remember – your involvement is key to winning these fights!
To say thank you, we’ll also be running a special prize giveaway for HACSU members during the week.
From 8 – 14 September, look out for us at your worksite and remember to grab a chocolate from a HACSU organiser. If you find any of these tickets inside the wrapper, you’ve won one of the following exciting prizes*:
• Gold – $600 in your choice of Coles or Woolworths gift cards
• Silver – $300 in your choice of Coles or Woolworths cards
• Bronze – $150 in your choice of Coles or Woolworths cards
• $50 ticket – an on-the-spot $50 gift card
We’ll do our best to visit every worksite and catch as many shifts as we can, but if we miss you, you can still join a $300 second chance draw online (look out for our flyers at your workplace).
Thank you for making a difference in the lives of our older loved ones. Let’s keep pushing together to make aged care better for everyone.
