Local Government Matters – have your say

12 April 2024

It’s time to have your say on the future of local government!

Following calls from ASU members, the Federal Government has announced a Parliamentary Inquiry into local government jobs and services. This is a significant step, acknowledging the essential work you do and the challenges we face.

Now, it’s time for your voice to be heard. Complete the ASU survey.

This inquiry opens the door for us to directly influence the future of local government services, and your insights are key. You know better than anyone the impact of our work on communities and what’s needed to support it.

You can also share this survey link with your colleagues – including non-ASU members! The more responses we receive, the stronger our submission is.

We're gathering member feedback to present a strong case to the Inquiry for more funding for secure jobs, quality services and proper investment in local government. This is where you come in. By sharing your experiences and ideas through our survey, you'll help shape our submission and ensure our collective voice is heard loud and clear.

Your input is vital - take the survey here.

Your contribution can drive real change, leading to better support and investment in local government jobs and services. Let’s grab this opportunity to make a difference for workers in local government and the communities we support.

By your side, 
Lisa Darmanin
ASU secretary
