The new Corumbene agreement for general staff and nurses is now approved by the Fair Work Commission and will kick in on 4 June 2024.
For general staff, wages will increase by 3.5% on 1 July this year and a further 3.5% on 1 July 2025.
General staff members also get the benefit of these improved conditions:
- Increase in public holiday penalty for shift workers to 250% (up from 200%)
- New workload management and staff provision that requires Corumbene to adhere to ACQSC requirements and to hold regular consultative meetings to discuss rostering and staffing levels
- 3 days of designated pandemic leave
- 6 weeks of paid parental leave
- Extra 2 days compassionate leave where interstate travel is required
- 2 days paid leave for pregnancy loss
This is what being a strong union member achieves – better wages and gains in conditions. Stay united, and keep encouraging more workers to join HACSU.
