SACS
Our members are united in their commitment to provide services that address disadvantage in our community.
We work across housing and tenancy, youth, child and family services, community and mental health, advocacy, community legal centres, neighbourhood houses and community centres, ethnic communities, crisis support, women’s specific services, indigenous services, job networks, home and community care, working for many different agencies in many different programs, with many different job titles.
There are around 4,000 community service businesses registered, and a significant number of these employ less than five people. Our members have proven that by uniting, we can achieve the best pay and conditions possible, including the land mark equal pay case which is currently being implemented and saw pay rises of 23-47% over eight years (2012-2020) for community services workers.

Energy
ASU members are generally the non-trade qualified workers in the energy industry. We work in thermal power stations, isolated hydro stations, next generation facilities, electricity transmission systems and the distribution/retail industry.
This has allowed us to represent members and gain significant benefits. Today across Tasmania and Victoria there are over 40 major employers in the industry. ASU members work with every employer and we have negotiated enterprise agreements with each of them.

ASU Delegates at Mount Alexander Shire Council met this week to plot our next steps, with the EBA expiring last September and still no pay offer in sight. We will be meeting with members in the next couple of weeks to hopefully discuss an offer from management or other options.
Solidarity from the West Coast comrades. Paul ASU/ME Division.
We wanted to let you know something big. Your union has won big changes for members in the social, disability and community services sector. Congratulations!
