As Queensland grapples with another COVID outbreak in the south east, aged care workers are again working harder than ever to keep residents safe.

The HSU Member Services Division have been fielding calls from members about a range of issues from PPE and to secondary employment. If you or your colleagues need any advice, please don’t hesitate to call on 1300 478 679.

The lockdown has meant that HSU Organisers have suspended visiting facilities in South East Queensland for the time being. However, once the lockdown is lifted, we will be back on the road again to meet with members. If you are interested in a union organiser visiting your workplace, contact 1300 478 679 or email HSU Organiser Kirk Rostock via [E-Mail not displayed].

Again, thank you for the incredible work you continue to do. You deserve a pay rise! While members work through this latest challenge, we continue our fight to increase aged care wages by 25% through the HSU Work Value Case. This pandemic has proved to the community that you and your colleagues are essential workers – now you should be paid as such.
