Dear Member,

The Federal Government wants to hear from you about aged care wages - have your say here: Aged Care Wage Increase Satisfaction Survey.

This year many HSU members received a 15 per cent wage increase in response to Stage 1 of the HSU’s Aged Care Work Value Case.

However, many members also missed out, and we are still fighting for the full 25% pay increase for all aged care workers as part of Stage 3 of our case (which kicks off on 4 December!).

The Government wants to hear from aged care workers about the wage increase so far, and what it means for you.

Have your say now: Aged Care Wage Increase Satisfaction Survey.

This is your chance to tell the federal government why all aged care workers need a 25 per cent pay rise, in line with the royal commission’s recommendations.

If you missed out on the wage increase because your job isn’t classified as a “direct care role” – including catering, cleaning, laundry, admin and maintenance, all of whom contribute to the care of residents – make sure you tell the government you deserve the full increase too. We can’t afford to leave anyone behind.

The survey is open to all aged care workers until 8 December 2023. Can’t access the link or have further feedback for the Department of Health and Aged Care? Email [E-Mail not displayed].

HSU members will be taking our claim for 25 per cent wage increase for all care workers back to the Fair Work Commission on 4 December. We’ll keep you updated as the final stage of the case progresses.
