Paramedic Cam Johnson sits down with Esther Nichols in part one of a special HACSU vodcast to go beyond the headlines of Tasmania’s ambulance crisis.

HACSUassist is a dedicated support service designed to help members like you navigate challenges in the workplace.

Whether you're facing difficulties with your employer, have concerns about your working conditions, or need guidance on your rights, HACSUassist is here to provide the assistance you need.

In this podcast, we meet two of the people on the other end of the call at HACSUassist: Lizi and Richard.

Recently, HACSU aged care members won a historic pay rise of up to 28%. However, the Federal Government is trying to delay our hard-fought pay increases.
In this exclusive Vodcast, HACSU organisers Sharon and Rachel discuss their efforts to push back and how YOU can help.
We need to stick together and tell the government not to delay aged care workers' pay.

10,000 members – 10,000 stories: In this vodcast we meet Tanya Clifford, a HACSU member for over 20 years. As well as being a great advocate for her fellow workers, and supporting other health workers across many sectors, Tanya has been a member of our Committee of Management since 2022.

The Hobart Clinic has been fined, according to patient Maddison.

Join us as she shares her most recent experience at the Clinic and her struggle to navigate our mental health system while living with bipolar and borderline personality disorder. 

Maddison is speaking out for the nurses who can't, and you can too.

A dangerous combination of psychiatrists quitting overnight, nurses under immense strain and bullied into silence by their employer, has led to patients being discharged, despite desperate pleas for ongoing help. 

Take a moment to hear our latest Hobart Clinic patient, Jill's, terrifying story and join us in amplifying our collective voice.

Cheryl's heart has been in aged care for a solid three decades. She kicked things off as a cook in Nazareth House, then rocked the roles of a laundry worker, a cleaner, a carer, and now a leisure and lifestyle officer. She's a battler for workers' rights, a mentor for the young guns, and a lively thorn in management's side.

In an unprecedented move, the clinic has enlisted top-tier lawyers to pressure staff into staying silent about working conditions and subpar pay.
