Secure Jobs. Better Universities.
Ongoing work should mean ongoing jobs. Fixed-term contracts create more uncertainty, more stress and less control over our working lives. Staff deserve secure, stable jobs to build stronger and more sustainable universities: betterworkplaces.nteu.au/

Staff at #UniCanberra have paid the price for the stuff-ups of Executive & Council, and continue to do so.
Join @nteunion.bsky.social today at www.nteu.au/join - it's the best way to fix broken governance, and ensure redundancy protections. ✊
NTEU members in the ACT supported by many more around the country have fought so long to expose the governance crisis at the ANU. We have achieved so much but I am still shocked by some of what is still being revealed about Bell and Bishop’s tenure.
Over 100 union delegates are together in Victoria today for Power Up - Activists and Delegates Conference. We’re talking about building power in our workplaces and our universities.

Despite staff and @nteunion.bsky.social raising concerns, ETaG's botched conception, approval and implementation led directly to careers ending as well as damage to people and the university.
Staff continue to pay the price & will strike at #UniCanberra on 5 May.

NTEU president Alison Barnes and UCU vice president for higher education (elect) Mark Pendleton stand on a footpath outside the NTEU headquarters in Melbourne.
Great to meet with @alisonbarnes.bsky.social and
@nteunion.bsky.social colleagues to take some lessons from their governance campaigns back to @ucu.org.uk
Plenty of opportunities for future cross-border collaboration too!
Looking forward to hitting the ground running as #ucu VP next month.
Just days after Four Corners exposed $1.8 billion in consultant spending, we're now seeing universities hire external lawyers to block basic salary transparency.
Staff and students deserve transparency and answers.

When teaching and research at unis is so stretched that management are closing departments and sacking staff, shovelling these huge amounts of public money to outside, private sector consultants - who do neither - is unforgivable www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...
Stronger intellectual freedom protection. Better Universities.
Intellectual freedom is at the heart of what defines a University.
Professional staff need protection of intellectual freedom so they can speak up and share their expertise. Universities must support, not silence to those who do.
Solidarity with teachers in Victoria on strike today!

The NTEU is spot on - every worker deserves access to reproductive health leave and workplace support. It's a huge help to employees and makes business sense for employers and the broader economy.

Fair pay. Better universities.
University staff need fair pay that keeps up with the cost of living. Food, rent, and bills haven’t stopped rising and neither should your pay. Hard work, sacrifice, and increased productivity should be recognised.
