Equal Rights Equals Respect: Stop Discrimination in Queensland workplaces nowWe call on the Crisafulli Government to immediately enact all provisions of the Respect at Work laws passed by Parliament in September 2024, including the positive duty and new protections against discrimination and harassment. These laws were passed after extensive consultation and were expected to commence from 1 July 2025 but have now been indefinitely delayed. Queenslanders need these protections now, not later. We demand immediate action to ensure the rights of all workers and members of our community are protected equally under these laws.249 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Queensland Unions

Return Northern Beaches Hospital to Public HandsEveryone deserves a hospital run for care, not profit. The privatisation experiment at Northern Beaches Hospital has failed. Chronic understaffing, faulty and inadequate equipment, and a lack of oversight have led to serious harm - including the tragic and avoidable death of a two-year-old in 2024. It’s time for the NSW Government to commit to bringing the hospital back into public hands and to give the community the safe, accountable healthcare it deserves. Health is too important to be run for profit.1,629 of 2,000 Signatures

Hands Off Our Work From Home RightsBig business is trying to rip away the rights of people who work from home – and we need to stop them. Right now, employer lobby group the Australian Industry Group (AiG) is trying to gut protections in the Clerks Award. They’re arguing that if you work from home, employers should be able to refuse to pay overtime, remove penalty rates, eliminate breaks, and roster staff for as little as 30 minutes a day. This is a cynical cash grab and a dummy spit from big business whose agenda was rejected by the Australian public at the last election.213 of 300 Signatures

Fair Bargaining Rights for Victorian Catholic Education Workers!Victorian Catholic education staff are preparing to negotiate a new Agreement covering over 30,000 workers. We urgently need action on excessive workloads, and our pay now lags up to 10% behind our interstate colleagues. However, unlike Catholic employers around the country, the Victorian Catholic Education Authority (VCEA) refuses to negotiate as a ‘Single Interest’. This means that our employers could seek fines against individual employees for taking part in any form of industrial action (even for wearing campaign badges!), and it means that we can't seek Good Faith Bargaining Orders if things go off track. As educators, we don’t want to have to take industrial action – but as workers, we know that the internationally-recognised right to do so is what gives us power at the bargaining table, and that without this right we are negotiating with one hand tied behind our back. We call on employers in Victorian Catholic education to uphold the industrial rights of their employees and to allow good faith bargaining to commence by applying for a Single Interest Authorisation immediately.4,346 of 5,000 Signatures

Homes For AllRight now if you’re on a minimum wage, you can’t afford to rent 99.3% of rental properties. 0% are affordable for someone on JobSeeker or Youth Allowance – and only 0.3% are affordable to a person on the Age Pension. An essential worker – someone working in health, education, construction or emergency services – can afford to rent only 3% of rental listings. That is clearly, clearly wrong. We need the Government to get serious on housing.4,209 of 5,000 Signatures

Sanctions, Recognition & Peace for Palestinehttps://assets.nationbuilder.com/victorianunions/pages/18072/attachments/original/1750141292/petition-palestine.png The Australian Union movement is a movement of peace and solidarity. We continue to be horrified by the humanitarian catastrophe facing Palestinians in Gaza. The Australian Union movement condemns the Israeli Government’s blockade since 2 March on humanitarian aid, including food, entering Gaza, putting more than two million Palestinians at critical risk of mass starvation. The Israeli Government has sought to shut down the existing aid and distribution system run by the United Nations and humanitarian partners and establish its own delivery mechanisms by the Israeli military, contravening fundamental humanitarian principles, and meaning large parts of Gaza will go without supplies. Australian workers strongly oppose the escalation of Israeli military operations in Gaza, with the Israel Defence Forces launching ground forces into northern and southern Gaza and the intensification of air strikes, following the announcement of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel had approved plans to seize control of the Gaza Strip and forcibly move hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. Australian workers condemn the use of starvation as a weapon of war and urge Israel to comply with the International Court of Justice’s order to take immediate steps to prevent acts of genocide, punish incitement to genocide, and facilitate the provision of basic services and humanitarian assistance to Palestinians in Gaza. Israel must immediately provide food and essentials to people in Gaza and ensure unimpeded access for humanitarian aid. We stand in solidarity with workers such as health workers who are both dealing with the immediate risk to their own health and safety and of caring for those injured, dying and facing starvation. We continue to call for the immediate release of all remaining Israeli hostages by Hamas and condemn their abuses of human rights. We call on the Australian Government to take all necessary steps take immediate steps to secure peace and compliance with international law by: • Using all influence, pressure and diplomatic measures — including the use of targeted sanctions — to achieve a permanent ceasefire and pressure the Israeli Government to stop its military operations in Gaza, immediately allow humanitarian aid to enter Gaza, respect international law and Palestinians’ human rights. • Co-ordinating with the United Nations, humanitarian organisations, and the international community to support the deployment of a humanitarian convoy to Gaza, and support the immediate, unhindered and safe passage of humanitarian aid. • Ending all military trade (including parts and components) with Israel, and working with other governments to ensure that Australian exports are not contributing to breaches of international law • Supporting international efforts to prosecute violations of international law. • Establishing emergency humanitarian visa pathways and fast-tracking all pending visa applications for Palestinians fleeing Gaza. • Recognising the State of Palestine8,880 of 9,000 SignaturesCreated by Victorian Trades Hall Council, APHEDA Union Aid Abroad & UnionsWA

Respect kindergarten teachers and educators!Kindergarten teachers and educators are the key to giving every child a great start in life when it comes to their education. Every day, families across Victoria rely on their children accessing a high-quality kindergarten education to ensure their learning and development in the years before school. This is critical for our youngest Victorians to thrive. But right now, teachers and educators in Victoria’s kindergartens are not respected by the state Labor government for the important work they do. They have been bargaining for improved conditions and pay increases for more than 12 months without being offered any decent pay increases. This is as outrageous as it is unacceptable. When the Victorian government does not deliver salaries that value their work, on top of unsustainable workloads, it is not surprising that almost 50% of teachers and educators are regularly thinking of leaving early childhood education for a different occupation. All this when we need 11,000 additional teachers and educators to fulfill the Allan government’s plan to increase 3-year-old kindergarten to 15 hours per week and 4-year-old kindergarten to 30 hours per week.3,103 of 4,000 Signatures

Protect Freedom of Expression at UTS: Stop the Changes to the Campus PolicyWe, the undersigned students, staff, and members of the UTS community, express our strong opposition to the proposed changes to the UTS Campus Policy that would introduce a blanket ban on indoor protests. This policy change was raised in a recent meeting between UTS Security and UTSSA representatives, where it was stated the purpose of the ban is to “protect WHS for staff.” However, no consultation has taken place with key stakeholders, including the National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) – the peak body representing UTS staff. If staff safety is the justification, it is essential that staff themselves and their representatives are included in these discussions. We call on UTS to: 1. Abandon the proposed blanket ban on indoor protests. 2. Commit to transparent consultation with student and staff representatives before changing protest-related policies. 3. Continue regulating protests through site-specific risk assessments and open dialogue between students, staff and UTS Security.144 of 200 SignaturesCreated by President, UTS Students' Association

Save SA Public Sector PsychologyPublic sector psychology in SA is in crisis. We are underfunded, understaffed, and undervalued. We are the lowest paid public psychologists in the country. Salary differences between SA and interstate psychologists range between 10-40%. As a result, public psychologists are walking away from the public system - and those who stay are being pushed to breaking point. There is already a critical shortage of psychologists in hospitals, mental health, education, child protection, and community services. This is worsening each day. Some public services today have up to 50% vacancy rates for psychology roles. The SA Government's enterprise bargaining offers till now have failed to fix the issues we've raised in years. We need real solutions, not more delays from Government. We require a better deal in the current enterprise bargaining. SA Government must properly address remuneration, recruitment and retention issues, show respect for psychologists’ skills and training and the value we add to the public service, and ultimately not let the public miss out on essential psychological services.3,996 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by South Australian Psychologists Association
