Welcome to our union update.
We are working on these projects at the moment and welcome involvement from members.
We run the Advocacy Phone Line and support callers to 1800289848 or (03)98117064 Monday to Friday from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM AEST (UTC+10) for advice on problems with Centrelink and Job Centres, or email advocacy@auwu.org.au
Breadline
Breadline is our weekly radio show on Community Radio 3CR, on Mondays at 6pm AEST (UTC+10). Stream live anywhere or listen back: https://www.3cr.org.au/breadline
End Partner Income Testing
Some of our members are working hard to build a new campaign to End Partner Income Testing, the archaic rule which cuts support if you have a partner https://endpartnerincometesting.com
Josh Park Fing
On Friday 17th April, we remembered Josh Park Fing, who died on a Work for the Dole site in Toowoomba 10 years ago.
Volunteering
We currently have four working groups - Advocacy, Campaigns, Communications (including design) and Tech Support which will be holding online meetings in the near future.
