History remade at Corumbene today!

HACSU members at Corumbene aged care walked off the job today in a historic and hugely successful strike, sending a loud and clear message to management: Equal Workers Deserve Equal Rights!

Carers, cleaners and general staff are standing up against unfair leave entitlements that see them receive just six weeks of paid parental leave compared to 14 weeks for nurses, and 13 days of personal leave compared to 20.

These workers care for the same residents, work side by side, and deserve the same respect and entitlements.

Corumbene workers have a proud history of taking a stand, and today they've shown that fighting spirit is stronger than ever!

A massive congratulations to every HACSU member who stood together today. Your courage, unity, and determination are what make our union strong. The fight for fairness continues!

It's time for the Corumbene management to come back to the table with a fair offer!

The tragic death of a Tasmanian man, whose family was forced to drive him to the Royal Hobart Hospital after an ambulance was unavailable, is a devastating reminder of the crisis gripping our health system.

Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones.

Speaking to ABC Radio Hobart this morning, HACSU State Secretary Robbie Moore warned that ambulance ramping and hospital bed block are leaving paramedics unable to respond to life-threatening emergencies.

This is not just a Hobart problem. It's a statewide crisis, and it demands urgent action.

In a conversation with David Reilly from ABC Hobart, Robbie called on the Tasmanian Government to stop the cuts to frontline health services, invest in allied health professionals, address hospital bed block, and learn from states successfully reducing ambulance ramping.

Our hardworking paramedics and healthcare workers are doing everything they can in an overwhelmed system. They deserve better, and so do the Tasmanians who rely on them.

Tasmanians deserve an ambulance when they call Triple Zero. The government must act before another family faces a tragedy like this.

Repatriation Centre nurses have had enough!

HACSU nurses at the Repatriation Centre walked off the job today, sending a clear message to the Tasmanian Government: Enough delays. It's time for a fair offer!

After months of negotiations, nurses are still waiting for an offer that properly recognises the vital work they do and addresses their concerns about pay and working conditions.

These are the workers who dedicate their lives to caring for Tasmanians, yet they continue to be met with delays and a lack of urgency from the government.

Our nurses deserve better. They deserve respect, fair pay, and safe working conditions.

HACSU stands proudly with our members as they continue their fight for a fair deal!

HACSU members at North West Regional Hospital and Mersey Community Hospital joined with other unions today to stop work in support of our nurses and midwives.

After six months of bargaining, the government still hasn’t put an offer on the table for the basics: decent wages, safe staffing levels, fair Sunday penalty rates, and recognition of the risks mental health nurses face every shift.

Nurses and midwives deserve better, and we’ll keep standing up and fighting back until it’s sorted.

From Beaconsfield to Launceston, HACSU members came out today to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with nurses fighting for a fair deal.

Members at Beaconsfield District Health Service walked off the job in support, while workers at LGH and John L Grove joined today’s stop-work action in solidarity with nurses and midwives.

Their message was clear- nurses and midwives deserve better.

Six months of bargaining have passed, and they are still fighting for the basics: enough staff to provide safe care, fair Sunday penalty rates and recognition of the very real risks faced by mental health nurses.

These issues don’t just matter to nurses. Safe staffing and decent working conditions make our entire health system stronger.

✊ Proud HACSU members in the RHH Central Sterilising Department were among those who stood in solidarity with nurses and midwives at today’s RHH stop-work action, united in their call for the government to deliver a fair and reasonable offer.

After six months of good-faith negotiations, nurses are still waiting for an offer that seriously addresses key concerns, including chronic understaffing, Sunday penalty rates in line with the rest of the Tasmanian public service, and proper recognition of the risks mental health nurses face every day.

Every worker knows that safe staffing, fair pay and safe working conditions are worth fighting for. It’s time for the government to listen to nurses, respect the work they do and come to the table with an offer that delivers.

Congratulations to nurses and general staff at Corumbene who have voted in overwhelming numbers today to approve a ballot for protected industrial action.

One of the major issues of the dispute is that, currently, general staff, including carers and cleaners, only receive 6 weeks of paid parental leave, which is only paid to workers after they return to the workplace. We have been fighting in this bargaining for general staff to receive the same entitlement that the nurses they work alongside currently receive, which is 14 weeks paid while they are on leave. Shamefully, Corumbene’s CEO Alison Standon and Board are denying this claim.

HACSU stands with working mums and will always fight for them.

Corumbene workers made history years ago by being one of the first aged care homes in Tasmania to take strike action – and today confirms that history is set to repeat itself once again!

HACSU nurse delegates Bianca and Diny met with the government this week for the first working group meeting on patient ratios - but this conversation is far from new.

The government agreed to a ratio model of patient care during negotiations for the current Nurses Agreement back in 2023, and then left it sitting on the shelf gathering dust for three years.

Nurses have waited long enough, and discussions around ratios should not be used as a tactic to stall the bargaining process. The government needs to put a genuine offer on the table now.

📺 HACSU State Secretary Robbie Moore and HACSU nurse Justin speaking to media at yesterday’s action to highlight the push for an occupational violence allowance for nurses working in mental health, consistent with the allowances already provided to nurses in forensic settings, including Risdon Prison and the Wilfred Lopes Centre.

HACSU nurses are also pushing for a new wage agreement, warning ongoing staffing pressures and serious workplace injuries are putting both staff safety and patient care at risk.
