Today is #LGBTQEqualPay Awareness Day 🏳️‍🌈

On this day, our partners across the country join forces to:

-challenge a system that devalues our labor
-discriminates against our identities
-denies us the economic security we deserve

Together, we strive for a future where our contributions, regardless of gender identity, sex characteristics, or sexual orientation, are valued equally.

ATARs released in NSW. Nursing is not popular. Basic market theory would suggest the lack of meaningful pay rises and poor work conditions relative to other careers continues to impact the supply of willing workers in nursing. Let’s not tolerate the neoliberal bullshit. Care workers need a significant pay rise.

“ Some of the biggest drops were the ATARs required to enter nursing degrees at Australian Catholic University and Western Sydney University (down by at least 20 points), while the mark required for a bachelor of nursing at UTS is 75, down from 86.95 last year. At the University of Wollongong the ATAR required for nursing is 65.1, down from 70.7.” SMH 22 DEC #auspol #nursing #wagejustice #FairWages #actu
