Dear Member,

Bargaining for a new Enterprise Agreement is underway at Goodwin Aged Care Services and that means we can have a say in the things that affect us at work, like our rates of pay and our working conditions. Have your say here on the top priorities for negotiation.

What is an Enterprise Agreement and what is bargaining? 

Your enterprise agreement sets your pay and conditions at work. It governs all your entitlements like access to leave, your rostering arrangements, when Goodwin must consult with you, and of course your pay increase!

Your HSU bargaining team is made up of HSU delegates at who work at Goodwin and is supported by the union’s industrial officers.

If you’re an HSU member, you’ll be represented by the HSU bargaining team. If you’re not an HSU member yet, join now to support our campaign for better pay and conditions at Goodwin.

Our Log of Claims at Goodwin 

All HSU members at Goodwin are encouraged to have a say on the top priorities for the new enterprise agreement. Have your say now by taking this short survey.

HSU delegates from across NSW, ACT and QLD have also set key priorities for the Aged Care sector, at our annual conference this year. These priorities focus on:

• Fair Pay at Work
