Earlier this week I addressed the 2026 Comcare National Conference on WHS impacts of organisational change done badly. Case study: Renew ANU. I am still filled with admiration for @nteunion.bsky.social members who stood up for one another at #ANU. It should never have been necessary. ✊

NTEU members made this happen.  We pushed the NSW Government to deliver reforms our public universities urgently need. And we won. Join NTEU today and help keep the pressure on our public institutions to honour these reforms: nteu.au/join

After a 14-month compliance review, ANU has been hit with four conditions requiring major changes to its governance and council, including stronger oversight, better accountability and improved information flows.   That’s what happens when we organise and speak up. @nteuact.bsky.social

"ANU now has the dubious distinction of being the only public university in Australia with conditions on its registration... This is due in large part to the management, leadership and governance failures of the Bishop-Bell regime." - @nteunion.bsky.social's @lachlan.clohesy.bsky.social on #ANU.

University of Sydney staff are taking strike action tomorrow for a better future. AI is here to stay, but without safeguards and worker governance, it can be used to cut jobs, intensify workloads, and compromise academic standards.

About a year ago, Dr Liz Allen spoke up in Parliament. Not because it was easy. Not because it was without risk. But because it was right. This won't fix everything, but it is welcome news. @nteunion.bsky.social @drdemography.com ✊💜 www.smh.com.au/national/anu...

It’s good to see ANU acknowledge its failures and apologise to Dr Liz Allen.   Liz was brave to speak up about what she experienced and to keep pushing for accountability.   You are never alone when you're a union member. Become a member today: nteu.au/join
