We will be at the Chambers entry that morning, visiting Landfill later in the morning and Childcare at your next team meeting. However, workers from these locations are welcome to attend the bbq breakfast.

We are also keen to talk to you about a new campaign we’ve launched: https://www.lgmatters.com.au/

Have you noticed staff shortages or more insecure work at your council? You're not alone.

The latest ASU survey revealed that 80% of councils are experiencing skills shortages, and 54% of workers have seen an increase in insecure forms of employment at their council in the last five years.

You know local government matters. And now the government want to hear about it too. ASU members called for and won a parliamentary inquiry into local government jobs and services, and it’s just kicked off.
