The NT Government’s failure to act means dangerously understaffed pharmacy departments are left to cope under impossible conditions. Pharmacists and technicians are exhausted, patients face delays and reduced services, and communities risk losing access to essential healthcare. Every message, every call, and every signature sends a strong signal: pharmacists across Australia will not accept unsafe staffing and government neglect. Together, we can protect patients and support our profession. In solidarity, Professionals Australia

This short-sighted decision will create an avoidable shortage of nurses and midwives in the future, a strain on the current nursing and midwifery workforce and increased pressure on the public and private healthcare systems. To provide the healthcare services the Victorian community needs we must keep building our new and early career workforce as well as retaining our experienced nurses and midwives. We must ensure today’s students are tomorrow’s workforce. Use us or lose us. It doesn’t have to be this way – we call on the Victorian Government to employ all of our 2026 graduate nurses and midwives. 

Across the world, including in Gaza, Sudan, Ukraine, and other war-torn regions, healthcare facilities are being deliberately targeted, Nurses, midwives, doctors and aid workers risk their lives daily to deliver lifesaving care, yet they are being bombed, abducted, or killed simply for doing their jobs. These attacks violate international humanitarian law, including the Geneva Conventions, which clearly mandate the protection of civilians, medical staff, the wounded and sick, and humanitarian workers in times of war.  Nurses and midwives in Australia stand in solidarity with our colleagues on the frontlines. We cannot remain silent while the principles of neutrality and humanity, the very foundations of healthcare, are being shredded. 

In support of our petition, we observe that:  • ANU Council has the entire control and management of the University and is required to act in all matters concerning the ANU in the way it thinks will best promote the interests of the ANU;  • Staff, students and members of the community have reasonable and genuinely held concerns about the direction of our national university. Many of these concerns relate to the delivery of Renew ANU, which has been destructive and harmful to staff, students and the capacity of the University to perform its functions; and  • A range of issues relating to transparency, accountability, governance and leadership at the ANU have been widely reported, and have not been adequately addressed. These are a source of ongoing damage to the reputation and standing of our national university, which is now subject to an unprecedented investigation by TEQSA.  For these reasons we conclude it is reasonable, necessary and in the best interests of the ANU for ANU Council to fulfil its duties by immediately adopting the course of action proposed by this petition.

At its heart, this campaign is about ensuring that people with disabilities—some of the most vulnerable members of our community—continue to receive the care, safety, and support they need and deserve. Without sustainable funding and clear action from governments, thousands of Victorians risk losing access to essential, life-changing services. The current funding shortfall threatens to: • Slash wages for over 7,500 workers by more than a third • Significantly reduce the 5 main providers of group homes ability to operate approximately 580 group homes • Displace even more participants from their homes • Undermine quality and safety standards that have been built over decades This is not a distant issue—it’s a looming crisis that will affect families, workers, and participants alike if action isn’t taken urgently. Victoria’s disability support sector sets the benchmark for the nation in terms of: • Staff training • Career progression • Staffing ratios • Safety standards These are hard-won protections built through decades of union advocacy. Without continued investment and a proper funding model, these standards could be lost—taking the sector backwards. Disability support workers play a critical role in the lives of participants, yet they now face: • Massive wage cuts • Job losses • A devaluing of their profession By campaigning for fair wages and strong employment conditions, you're standing up for the workforce that holds this system together. This campaign is about demanding that: • The Federal Government fixes the broken NDIS pricing model • The State Government continues support until a long-term federal solution is in place • Both levels of government take responsibility for the sustainability of disability services It’s a call to put people over profits, and policy over politics. Everyone deserves the opportunity to live with dignity, independence, and support. Your campaign represents the broader fight for: Equity in access to care • Fair treatment of workers • A compassionate, well-funded public service model This isn’t just a disability sector issue—it’s a community issue. When we unite, we win. By joining, people are not just supporting a cause—they’re becoming part of a powerful movement for justice, fairness, and sustainability in disability care.

Even though UTS insists current students aren’t affected, this move sends a chilling message about undervaluing education and staff wellbeing. Courses might return, but only through redesign, phase-out, or after consultation. Moreover, undergraduate students have already reported being unable to enrol in their relevant honours courses that they would otherwise have begun next year. Staff morale is dropping. Some are experiencing psychological distress, and SafeWork is investigating UTS over reported "psychological hazards." This comes as no surprise when staff in heavily affected schools such as health or design face the likely destruction of their entire departments. When staff suffer, the quality of education suffers too. When courses vanish or staff are slashed, the quality, diversity, and strength of our education take a hit. We risk losing more than just jobs and programs where we risk losing what makes UTS vibrant and future-focused. We're calling on students to support: 1. Re-open course enrolments. We call on UTS to reverse this decision to suspend enrolments in over 100 courses. 2. Demand transparency from UTS leadership: Students and staff deserve meaningful consultation and transparency on how restructure decisions are being made. 3. Defend equitable education and critical disciplines, like teaching and public health. These are more than disciplines, they’re essential to our society. 4. Stand with staff in solidarity. Our education depends on the people delivering it. They deserve dignity, trust, and partnership. Not uncertainty and disregard. What you can do right now: 1. Sign this petition. 2. Share it with classmates, on social media, and in your networks. 3. Follow @stopthecutsuts, @uts_students_association and @utseducationactiongroup Let’s make our voices heard. Let’s protect our courses, our lecturers, and the future of UTS.

This issue matters because it strikes at the core of fairness, trust, and academic integrity at Curtin. Students enrolled this semester on the reasonable expectation, set out in their Unit Outlines, that the advertised assessment formats would apply. Changing the format mid-semester, especially from a flexible take-home model to a rigid closed-book, invigilated system, not only disrupts carefully planned study and work routines but also imposes new financial, logistical, and emotional burdens. It erodes confidence in Curtin’s commitment to transparency and student partnership, and sets a dangerous precedent where major academic changes can be imposed without proper notice or consultation. For the wellbeing and success of students, and the credibility of Curtin’s processes, this decision must be reversed.

Parentline is a critical first line of support for Victorian parents and carers. It offers confidential, anonymous and accessible counselling on everything from child behaviour and development to family violence and mental health.  When people talk about how hard parenting is, they often say “it does not come with a manual.” Parentline is as close to a manual as you can get, a trusted, expert voice to guide parents through the hardest moments.  More than 15 highly qualified counsellors now face losing their jobs, taking with them hundreds of years of Child Protection and counselling experience. Removing this expertise would leave an already stretched system even weaker.  Research is clear that early intervention works. For years, Parentline’s dedicated public servants have helped parents build strong family relationships, navigate crises and connect with vital community resources before problems spiral.  We must save this service. Without it, thousands of Victorian families will lose an irreplaceable lifeline. 

Israel's deliberate starvation of 2.1 million Palestinians in Gaza has reached catastrophic levels. According to the UN one third of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have not eaten for days. 40,000 babies are at imminent risk of death due to starvation. It is urgent that the world acts to stop Israel's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. In response to this horrific situation, the Palestine Action Group Sydney has called for a mass March for Humanity across the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge to save Gaza. Shamefully, the NSW Police have applied to the Supreme Court to block the march across the Sydney Harbour Bridge. This takes place after many statements from the NSW Premier opposing this march. The Sydney Harbour Bridge has been closed many times for marathons, filming a Ryan Gosling movie, even for holding a picnic. Facilitating a mass march of tens of thousands of people in Sydney who want to see urgent action to save Gaza is feasible and would send a powerful message to the world. We call on the Premier of NSW to stop their attempts to ban this march. Let the people of Sydney march for humanity and put an end to the forced starvation of Gaza!

The Savannahlander isn’t just a train — it’s a lifeline. Its loss would be a blow to Queensland's Outback Tourism, wiping out one of the last remaining outback rail experiences of its kind. Communities along the route rely on this service to bring in visitors, support local jobs, and keep small businesses alive. For tourists, it’s a chance to see a side of Australia you can’t reach any other way. By joining this campaign, you’re helping protect a unique piece of Queensland’s history, regional livelihoods, and an unforgettable experience that should remain open to everyone — not just history books.

Bus drivers are critical because they keep our state moving, taking kids to school, commuters to work, and our families to shops, medical appointments and more. We need to keep them safe so they can do their essential job without fear, stress or harm, ensuring reliable and secure transport for everyone.

Exposure to aluminium welding fumes causes cancer, irreversible lung damage, and neurological harm. An immediate reduction to the WEL is critical to protect workers. Despite the evidence available about the risks, and the Safe Work Australia recommendation, there are employers and government bureaucrats who have suggested a delayed implementation or to forgo the change altogether. We cannot allow political resistance or delay to come before the health and safety of workers. Ministers can decide on this matter any time between now and 31 July 2025.  We need to make sure they hear directly from the people who are most affected. We need to make sure they hear directly from the people who are most affected – the workers and families who suffer the risks of exposure every day.
