Secure work = better support
Community Mental Health Practitioners like Shantell provide the kind of support that changes lives. But the rise in fixed term contracts in the community sector has meant high turnover and more insecurity for both workers and clients.
It's dumb, and it hurts everyone involved.

Good on them. Now, just wondering what the union is doing about the Covid death of one of their members at Serco Mill Park, where another 12 workers are also infected? This workplace has had repeated outbreaks. Please tell us what you are doing to address this?
Poor silly bosses - don't they know? No one ever messes with librarians and comes out unscathed.
Solidarity from The Services Union in Queensland!
💪💪💪
Does anyone know what's led them to strike? Does anyone know what are their main issues?
Great to see acknowledgement from Acting Minister for Local Government Mary-Anne Thomas of the incredible work library staff do to support their communities - particularly during the pandemic!
The ASU welcomes the State Governments $47M funding for libraries. ASU members have long been campaigning for increased funding and better recognition of the work library staff do, it's great to see that reflected in today’s announcement with a 3.5% increase in funding.
