UWU condemns the Israeli Government’s blockade on humanitarian aid, including food, entering Gaza, putting more than two million Palestinians at critical risk of mass starvation. We call on the Australian Government to take immediate steps to secure peace and compliance with international law.

That’s why workers are taking action today until they win fair wages! This phase of action includes: ✅ Refusing unpaid admin work ✅ Not filling out fleet logbooks ✅ Chalking DHS vans with ‘Safe Support Services NOW!’ ✅ Leaving council bins for management to move

Safe support services depend on a stable workforce. But right now, low pay and job insecurity are forcing experienced workers out of the sector. That puts the people they support at risk.

These workers provide critical disability support services, but many can no longer afford to stay in the job. Instead of fixing this, DHS is relying on agency workers to fill shifts.
