Dear Member,

Your enterprise agreement is going out for a vote!

Shortly, your employer will be asking all staff to vote on a new enterprise agreement.

Your enterprise agreement contains your wages and conditions at work, so it’s important everyone understands how the agreement will affect them and has a say in the vote.

The enterprise agreement will only be accepted if a majority of people who cast a vote, vote ‘yes’. Therefore, it’s up to you to decide if this agreement is good enough.

Nazareth Care are offering the following wage increases:

• At least 2.5% from the First Full Pay Period on Approval (FFPPOA) 1 July 2024

• 2.5% from the FFPPOA 1 July 2025

• 2.8% from the FFPPOA 1 July 2026

Other important changes in your proposed EA include:

• Medication allowance for PCW
• HSU Delegates Rights provision
• Predictable hours for part-time employees

Next Steps

Voting will open Thursday, 5 December and close Wednesday, 11 December.

Before voting opens, your employer must share a copy of the proposed agreement with you and provide details on all the proposed changes.

You can find a copy of your proposed enterprise agreement HERE.
