Fighting for your rights and advocating for positive change

Below is a list of previous campaigns that HACSU has run. These campaigns are designed by us to highlight critical issues in the health sector, hold private and public institutions to account, and to advocate for improved working rights and conditions.

Whilst the majority of our campaigns are of our own initiative in collaboration with our members and stakeholders, there are some times where we work with our parent body the Health Services Union to make widespread nationwide change and reform.

Most campaigns are aligned with a petition to be presented to the relevant body, whether they be an institution or government.
