YWC and SDA

The Young Workers Centre educates young workers about their safety and workplace rights, and empowers them to resolve issues in the workplace. Based in Victorian Trades Hall, we educate young people as they enter the workforce via our training programs, which are available to all Victorian high schools, TAFEs and technical colleges. We assist young people to resolve workplace issues through our legal service designed exclusively for young workers. We empower young people to use their collective voice by driving campaigns on key issues for young people at work.

The SDA is the union for Retail, Fast Food and Warehousing workers. They are the second largest trade union in Australia, with over 200,000 members. There are branches in every state and one in the Newcastle, Hunter Valley and Central Coast region.
