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.

Rate capping makes it hard for local government workers to get fair pay increases and threatens the services Victorians rely on every day. ASU members at Darebin City Council and Gannawarra Shire are just some of the local government workers calling on the Victorian Government to change the rules on rate capping.
