Our Current Working Campaigns

See what we are up to

A big part of the work that we do here at HACSU and the broader Health Services Union is advocating for improved working rights and conditions, advocating for possible change and - when the burden on our members is too great - industrial action.

These campaigns are run in collaboration with our members and other stakeholders. We shine the light on poor government policy and overreach from institutions, making sure that health workers across the state are getting what they deserve and that the overall health system is as good as it can be.

Most of our campaigns are tied to a petition to be presented to government or the relevant institution, and the help of the general public that we have received in the past is greatly appreciated.

Read below through our current, ongoing campaigns, and click the campaign title to see more detail about that particular one. We also have an archive of our previous campaigns, of which you can find here.
