With the CPI inflation now at 3.8%, UWA staff deserve a pay rise that helps them catch up. Members also deserve respect at the bargaining table, with genuine protections against academic staff overwork, clear entitlements to flexibility and working from home for professional staff.

On Sunday, we marched through the streets of Northbridge as we proudly celebrate and continue to stand up for the LGBTQIA+ community with the message ‘queer or straight, you’re our workmate.’ We stand with QUTE (Queer Unionists in Tertiary Education) to build a safer, more inclusive future for all.

At a mass members meeting, UWA members voted unanimously to begin preparations for industrial action in 2026 ✊ Members have committed to rolling out an education campaign to inform UWA staff of their rights and protections.

✊ MEMBER WIN ✊ Notre Dame staff are receiving a 3.25% pay rise, the fourth increase in a total 16.25% won by NTEU members in the 2022–2026 Enterprise Agreement. Super has also increased to 14.5%, but it still falls short of the 17% offered at other WA universities. We need to close that gap.
