After a long year and what has been a long bargaining period, Northcott has conceded to your HSU Bargaining team's request to pass on a 2% pay increase this year, regardless of when your new EA is finalised. 

You can view correspondence from Northcott by clicking here. 

This means all staff – including Support Workers who are currently covered under the expired Northcott Enterprise Agreement – will see their pay go up by 2% in the next pay period. 

With this one exception, the proposed agreement remains as it was at last bargaining update, which you can read here. 

If you have any questions or feedback, please email your HSU Organiser Thomas Gao via [E-Mail not displayed] and Industrial Officer Ed Yap via [E-Mail not displayed]. 

With your new Agreement likely to reach the Access & Ballot period either in the next few weeks or early next year, it’s vital that we’re well prepared. 

This pay increase demonstrates what can be achieved when we are strong and united! If you know a colleague who still isn't yet a union member, encourage them to join and get behind us. New members can join online at www.hsu.asn.au/join or by calling 1300 478 679. 

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
